In news from Afghanistan, Pentagon officials report carrying out at least a dozen airstrikes and house raids against militants with the self-proclaimed Islamic State over the last few weeks. This comes after the White House broadened the scope of U.S. military actions against ISIL last month. President Obama officially declared an end to the U.S. combat mission in Afghanistan in 2014. Yet there are currently nearly 10,000 U.S. troops serving in Afghanistan. Pentagon officials told The New York Times they estimate that U.S. airstrikes and home raids have killed as many as a 100 ISIL militants within the last few weeks. Meanwhile, in Kabul, at least 10 people have died in a suicide bomb attack near the Afghan Parliament this morning.
