The Jalalabad prison attack was a 2020 assault on a prison in Afghanistan carried out by the Islamic State - Khorasan Province. The October 2023 short description tagged the article "Terrorist attack by ISKP." Today's short description reads "August 2020 operation by ISIS-K"; terror survives twice elsewhere in the article. A reader today does not learn, from the article's own description tag, that this was a terrorist attack rather than a generic operation.
