U.S. military officials are withholding the names of the ISIS terrorists allegedly killed by an airstrike in Afghanistan that was carried out in retaliation for the suicide bombing attack that left at least 13 U.S. troops dead.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby twice on Friday declined to provide the identities of the terrorists said to be killed in the strike.
