Afghanistan
Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan leader Nusrat reportedly killed in joint strike
2012-03-29
The leader for an al-Qaeda linked foreign militant network in Afghanistan has been killed in a joint raid of Afghan and NATO forces, the coalition reported on Tuesday.

Makhdum Nusrat, the chief of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan in Afghanistan, was wanted by NATO and the Afghan government, NATO said in a statement.
His name is 'Make-dumb'? How appropriate...
He probably used to like to tell people "it's pronounced 'Make-doom!'".
He was reportedly killed Monday as troops were trying to capture him in the Shirin Tagab district of northern Faryab province, near the border with Turkmenistan.
Ah, an old favorite:

"Hokay Makhdum, drop the rod and git yer mitts in da air!"
"You'll never take me alive, infidels!" [blam] [blam]
"Hokay, have it your way. Open up boys!"
[BLAM] [kaBOOM] "urk!" [THUD] "rosebud" [rattle] [twitch]
The statement described Makhdum as the highest-ranking IMU insurgent operating in the country and accused him of leading attacks against Afghan and foreign troops throughout the northern provinces for the last eight months.
