| [Tolo News] At least 17 faceless myrmidons were killed in joint Afghan and Coalition forces' operation in eastern Kunar province ... which is right down the road from Binny's house in Chitral... on Tuesday, Isaf said in a statement on Wednesday. The operation was launched in Dangam district of Kunar province during which seventeen faceless myrmidons including imported muscle were killed and one suspected Death Eater was jugged during a search for an al-Qaeda senior leader, Isaf said in a statement. "The senior al-Qaeda leader commands and facilitates faceless myrmidons throughout the province and border region, directing weapons acquisition, movement, employment of fighters and equipment to Kunar for attacks against Afghan and coalition forces," added the statement. Three snuffies started shooting at Afghan and coalition forces when they were killed by an air support team, Isaf said. Dangam district is bordered by Pakistain and faceless myrmidons have been active in most villages of it planning attacks on Afghan border police check posts. Afghan and foreign forces have previously launched military operations to clear the insecure parts of the province of bad turbans. Insurgents have recently been targeting provincial officials of Kunar province. |
