Top Taliban leaders including a foreign national killed in Special Forces raid in Paktika
 ...the Pashtun equivalent of men...leaders including a foreign national during an operation in Paktika ...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo... province. The National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) in a statement said the NDS Special Forces conducted an operation against a gathering of Taliban in Khairbin Village of Yousuf Khel district in Paktika. The statement further added that the Special Forces killed 13 Taliban group members including some of top leaders of the group and a foreign national. Furthermore, the National Directorate of Security said the Special Forces killed Qari Khalid, Taliban’s military chief for Sharan, Sanaullah alias Obaida, the intelligence chief of Taliban for Sharan, Qari Ghairat, top Taliban commander leading a group of 32 Death Eaters. The National Directorate of Security also added that Qari Ghairat was the brother of Zia ul Haq ...the creepy-looking former dictator of Pakistain. Zia was an Islamic nutball who imposed his nutballery on the rest of the country with the enthusiastic assistance of the nation's religious parties, which are populated by other nutballs. He was appointed Chief of Army Staff in 1976 by Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, whom he hanged when he seized power. His time in office was a period of repression, with hundreds of thousands of political rivals, minorities, and journalists executed or tortured, including senior general officers convicted in coup-d'état plots, who would normally be above the law. As part of his alliance with the religious parties, his government helped run the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan, providing safe havens, American equipiment, Saudi money, and Pak handlers to selected mujaheddin. Zia died along with several of his top generals and admirals and the then United States Ambassador to Pakistain Arnold Lewis Raphel when he was assassinated in a suspicious air crash near Bahawalpur in 1988...
