"Afghan and coalition forces confirmed that the Al Qaeda leader known as Hanzallah was killed during a security operation in Watapur district of Kunar province, Sunday," Isaf said in a statement.

Hanzallah was a Saudi national and Al Qaeda leader who acted as a military advisor to bully boyz in Kunar, Nuristan and Laghman provinces and provided them with improvised bomb training, the statement said.

He was one of several Al Qaeda Islamic fascisti killed during the security operation, it added.

"Afghan and coalition forces identified a group of armed myrmidons. The security force engaged the armed bully boyz with a precision Arclight airstrike, killing several of them," it said.

#1  Also reported killed in Kunar (June 29 airstrike in Wataphur):
Ammar, a "Lashkar-e-Taiba insurgent leader", and
Khatab Shafiq, a Pakistani citizen who served as Lashkar-e-Taiba's leader for Kunar province.
Wataphur is not looking like a good spot for AQ R&R these days.
