This post may become out of date if things change. At the moment the US says a drone strike has killed an IS-K planner yet the planner has not yet been named.
The US military says it believes it has killed a planner for the Afghan branch of the Islamic State group in a drone strike in the east of the country.
The suspected member of the IS-K group was targeted in Nangarhar province.
IS-K said it had carried out an attack outside Kabul airport on Thursday that may have killed as many as 170 people, including 13 US troops.
We know the US can do this, but so far the claim is not convincing because the planner has not been named. Could have been a chap taking his driving test for all we really know.

Do they have driving tests in Afghanistan?
But yes, they could fire off a missile at anything or nothing, or not even fire the missile. Currently, we are unlikely to get independent verification, to say the least.
Yes, undoubtedly the driving test chappy. :)
Sam - yes I'm sure it would be possible to fire a missile at anything and claim it had been an important target with little chance of the claim being investigated.
James - mirror, signal, kaboom.
