Tahir Yuldashev killed in Aug 27 drone attack
 Chief of Islamic movement of Uzbekistan Tahir Yuldashev, also known as Qari Tahir, was killed in a US drone attack in South Waziristan Agency on August 27, a private TV channel reported on Thursday. The channel said Pakistani and American officials had confirmed Yuldashev's death.He was a close aide of former Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan chief Baitullah Mehsud and was involved in several attacks in the country. The Paks never even bothered to deny Tahir was in the country. I'm not sure how the Islamic Movement of "Uzbekistan" manages to justify living in Pakistain, with an entire country between it and the Ferghana valley... Posted by: Fred 2009-10-02 |
