Drone strike

@Certifiedloverboydrake: You appear to be confused about the references in this article. The IGN article you linked indeed talks about fake news related to Pakistani drone strikes in Afghanistan. However, this has absolutely nothing to do with this article. The sources for Dashty's death are unrelated to the fake news "game footage", as they were made by newspapers and defense analyst Babak Taghvaee based on entirely different research. Neither The Week nor ORF, the two sources you have repeatedly removed, talk in any way about "footage" being used to prove that Dashty was killed by a drone strike. No one is using "footage" in regards to Dashthy's death. Your claim that "no drone strike happened" is based on your own interpretation; the Panjshir conflict article makes it quite clear that several sources have alleged Pakistani air attacks which have not been proven wrong so far.

National Resistance Front of Afghanistan officials, i.e. his companions, have also accused Pakistan of killing him. Thus, an independent defense analyst, local Afghan fighters, and whatever source the ORF used all say that Dashty was killed by a drone strike. The article clearly attributes this claim, and now also includes the denial by the Taliban and Pakistan. This presentation is both fair and neutral.
