We know of no civilian casualties.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The US has not named the \u2018planner\u2019 it killed, and it is not clear if the fighter was involved in the bast at the airport. <\/p>\n<p>But two defence officials told NBC News that the target was an ISIS-K member thought to be planning future attacks. <\/p>\n<p>It comes after the Islamic State\u2019s Afghanistan branch, ISIS-K, said it carried out an attack on Thursday that may have killed as many as 170 people, including 13 US troops and two Britons. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>This is a breaking news story, more to follow soon\u2026<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>Check back shortly for further updates.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a story?
