		</div><p>An American drone strike in July killed a top Islamic State group leader in Afghanistan, US officials have said.<br />
Hafiz Saeed Khan died in southern Nangahar Province on July 26, the officials said.</p>
<p>The US state department last year designated Khan a global terrorist, saying he was the leader of IS in Khorasan, which includes former members of the Pakistani and Afghan Taliban.</p>
<p>Khan had previously been a Tehrik-e Taliban commander, but last year pledged loyalty to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.</p>
<p>US and Afghan leaders have been concerned about the growth of IS in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>The group was targeted by a US-backed Afghan military offensive last month, in which five US commandos were injured.</p>
