The leader of ISIS in Afghanistan and Pakistan was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Afghanistan's Nangarhar province, Afghan officials told NBC News — although U.S. officials said they are doubting reports of his death. Hafiz Saeed Khan is the head of an area called Khorasan, comprised of Pakistan, Afghanistan and India, according to Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security. He and other top commanders were killed during a gathering on Friday, the intelligence agency said. Defense and military officials said the U.S. has no proof or confirmation that he has been killed. If he has died, Khan is the fourth high-ranking member of the militant group to be killed by U.S. strikes in the region over the past week, Reuters reported.
