Ahmadullah is considered one of the top two Taliban leaders in Zabul province, but is not in the inner circle of Taliban leader Mullah Omar.

Someone is making an effort to take down the Tailb leadership. I wonder are we witnessing Task Force 121 in action.

This is how they got Saddam....start in the outer ring of his circle and keep peeling off people.....and they give you someone in the inner circle.....until they get the big guy.

I think they are after Mullah Omar.

From the Daily Telegraph:

AN Afghan soldier and a Taliban militant have been killed during a failed attempt to assassinate a local police chief in southern Afghanistan.

Insurgents on Wednesday ambushed the police chief of Maineshan district as he was travelling to Kandahar city, killing one soldier and leaving two missing, Kandahar provincial spokesman Khalid Pashtun said today.

"After this attack 50 soldiers went on a search operation to the area of the fighting to find the Taliban.

"Government soldiers arrested 10 Taliban with their motorbikes and weapons."

The body of a Taliban fighter was left at the scene after the attackers fled, Mr Pashtun said.
