KABUL, Jan 26 (Reuters) - A senior Taliban leader may have been killed along with his deputies by a NATO air strike in Afghanistan, the alliance said.

The incident happened on Thursday in an area of southern Helmand province, part of the main bastion of the resurgent Taliban, NATO said in a statement late on Thursday.

"The precision-guided munitions impacted on target, completely destroying the compound ...," the statement said.

"A senior Taliban leader and his deputies are believed to have been killed in this strike," it added.

But the lap dog, agendized "there's nothing but bad that happens in the world and the U.S. economy when the U.S. has a Republican President" news media will continue to report nothing but that the Taliban has us by the short hairs and is getting the best of us in Afghanistan, declaring victory for the Taliban just like they do for Al Qaeda in Iraq.
