The group was traveling in a vehicle loaded with ammunition. When the car was hit it detonated, killing everyone inside.
The man, Mulla Abdul Rauf, was held in Guantanamo in the past. He was a Taliban member who defected and joined IS, where he was appointed deputy commander of IS in the Khorasan region – the Islamic State’s name for Afghanistan.
