 group was killed in an Arclight airstrike in southern Kandahar province of Afghanistan, the Afghan military officials said Monday.

The Taliban leader, Mullah Lal Mohammad, was killed late on Sunday night in the vicinity of Nish district.

The 205th Ata Corps officials in the South said at least eleven hard boyz were also maimed during the airstrike conducted by the Afghan Air Force late on Sunday night.

The anti-government armed krazed killer groups including Talibs have not commented regarding the report so far.

This comes as counter-terrorism operations are underway against the hard boyz in certain districts of Kandahar province.

#5  As far as I can tell, emir just means leader, whether platoon leader, village militia leader, or leader of the forces in all Afghanistan. The other piece is that it is the role of Number Threes and Number Fours is to be killed. Also cannon fodder, of course.

#1  For years I've been seeing headlines like "Top Taliban Killed", "High-ranking ISIS Poohbah Snuffed". Don't these yahoos have any grunts? It sounds like the Ruritanian Army - all generals and no privates (pun intended).
