2010-10-26 |
Coalition and Afghan forces have killed a senior commander of the al Qaeda-linked Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan who doubled as Taliban shadow district governor in the northern province of Takhar. The combined force killed Qari Mahmad Umar and an associate in "a precision air strike" yesterday after tracking him to a remote region of the Bahawuddin district, according to the International Security Assistance Force. Umar served as the shadow governor of Bahawuddin district. "Umar was an improvised explosive device expert and trainer involved in facilitating supplies as well as constructing and emplacing IED's in northern Takhar and Kunduz provinces," ISAF stated. Umar is the second shadow district governor killed in Takhar this month. On Oct. 4, Maulawi Jawadullah, the district shadow governor for Yangi Qalah in Takhar, was killed in an airstrike. Who's on deck? C'mon up to the batters box. |
