U.S. Central Command has for the first time publicly identified the ISIS-K facilitator it says was killed in an Aug. 27 drone attack in Nangahar, Afghanistan.

Kabir Aidi, aka Mustafa, “was an ISIS-K high profile attack lethal aid facilitator involved in attack planning and magnetic IED production,” Army Maj. John Rigsbee, a CENTCOM spokesman, said in a statement. “Post-strike reflections indicate that Kabir Aidi was directly connected to the ISIS-K leaders that coordinated the August 26 attack at [Hamid Karzai International Airport].”

That attack killed 13 U.S. service members in the bloodiest single day for Americans since 2011. Scores of Afghans were also killed.

Hours after the airport attack, President Joe Biden, heavily criticized for the deadly chaos in Kabul, vowed payback.

At least that is who they THINK they got.

At least that is who they THINK they got.

If they thought they got someone, they knew who they were hunting and it would not have taken anywhere near this long to come up with a name.

And just how did they come to this conclusion?  Dental records.... 

If we have assets in the area to "id" this guy, then why can't we get our people out...
