Taliban Commander Killed in Afghanistan | |
2005-09-03 | |
U.S. and Afghan forces killed a regional Taliban commander the military said Friday as violence spiraled ahead of this month's landmark elections. The Taliban commander — identified by Afghan officials as Thor Mullah Manan — was killed with another rebel fighter in a firefight Thursday with coalition and Afghan forces in Daychopan district of southern Zabul province, the U.S. military said. The military said Manan was in command of three other Taliban sub-commanders and responsible for the movement of equipment and personnel throughout the northwest Zabul province — regarded as a hotbed of Taliban-led insurgents.

#4 Every time you kill a commander, you create a new one. I mean, imagine a U.S. unit that loses commanders...after a while an E-5 would be in charge of a battalion. |
