Afghanistan: Taliban commander 'killed'
2008-07-10

Kabul, 10 July (AKI) - Afghan and international forces have killed a Taliban commander involved in planning suicide attacks in the capital, Kabul, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force announced on Thursday. Mohammed Daud Rahimi was killed Wednesday in Lowger province, south of Kabul, ISAF said in a statment.
So long, Mo. Say hello to Big Mo for me...
An unnamed woman was wounded in Wednesday's operation, given medical care and released after testing positive for recent contact with explosives, the ISAF statement said.
Ummmmmmmm...huh?
Cherchez la femme.
Daud Rahimi had recently had been recruiting Taliban fighters, identifying targets for suicide bombers in Kabul and transporting suicide bombers into the capital, according to ISAF.
Geez, how will they get their rides now?

#2  If you control the actions of at least two others, you're a "commander" as far as the talibunnies are concerned. Still, the more we wipe out, the better chance the stupid shall inherit the position - by default.

#1  Just how many "commanders" do these Taliban have? Can anyone just proclaim themselves to be a "commander"? It seems we have killed dozens, if not hundreds of these guys since we first went in there.

I would hope they are getting close to the bottom of the barrel in both experience and competence.
