A former Taliban militant, who recently joined Islamic State, was killed in a Nato drone strike on a car he was travelling in.
Former Taliban commander Mullah Abdul Rauf was crossing a desert in northern Helmand, along with his brother-in-law and four Pakistani nationals, when their vehicle was hit.
Mr Rauf, who was detained in Guantanamo Bay for 6 years, pledged allegiance to Islamic State after falling out with Taliban leader Mullah Omar.
IS in Syria declared him the deputy leader of the group in Khorasan.
