Mullah Fazlullah Reported Killed in Afghan Clash
2010-05-28
A top leader of Pakistan's Taliban has been killed in a clash with Afghan forces near the border, a top Afghan police officer said
Bringing yesterday's story forward a day...
Maulvi Fazlullah, the head of a Taliban faction in Pakistan's Swat Valley, was reportedly killed along with six of his comrades in the Barg Matal district of the Nuristan province, bordering Pakistan, Mohammad Zaman Mamozai, chief of the Afghan border force for the eastern region told Reuters.

"Maulvi Fazlullah was killed in direct clash with Afghan border police...last night," he said.

He did not have further details. The Afghan Taliban have confirmed the fighting, but insist no foreign militants were involved.

The news of Fazlullah's death comes after reports of several days of clashes between Afghan forces and militants in Barg Matal.

Maulvi Faqir Mohammad, who heads a Pakistani Taliban faction based in the Bajuar tribal region, denied media reports that Fazlullah was leading any assault in Afghanistan.

"He could be in Nuristan because the Taliban have been moving back and forth along the border," he told Reuters by telephone prior to reports of Fazlullah's death.

#4  Azcat: Use something like this:

{img src="http://www.wherever.com/picture.jpg" width=400}

Note: Replace the curly braces with angle brackets, i.e.: { goes to < and } goes to >. This is because the angle brackets in certain contexts have a special meaning.

The width=400 forces the picture to be 400 pixels wide. It is what you use if the picture is wider than 400 pixels. The mods get all irritated if the pictures are too wide, and this way it makes them more tingly instead. You can find out how wide the picture will be if you right click on it and select properties. Somewhere it should say.

Always use preview and you should catch booboos before they are released so readers won't have reason to make fun of your efforts.
