IS leader in Afghanistan killed, US believes
Source: BBC
Hafiz Saeed, leader of so-called Islamic State (IS) in Afghanistan and Pakistan, died in a US drone strike last month, the US believes.
Last year, the Afghan intelligence agency said it believed Saeed had died in a drone attack in Afghanistan's eastern province of Nangarhar.
However, IS insisted its leader had survived that attack.
On Friday a US defence official told the BBC that Saeed had been killed in a new drone attack on 26 July.
