#2 Tolo News adds:

A senior Al Qaeda leader was killed in a joint Afghan and Nato troops operation in eastern Kunar province, Isaf said on Tuesday.

After positively identifying Sakhr al-Taifi and one additional Al Qaeda terrorist, and ensuring no civilians were in the area, the security force engaged the targets with a precision airstrike.

No civilian property was damaged and no civilians were harmed, Isaf said.

Egypt and Pakistan have similar problems as they look up to the Saudis.
