KABUL, May 15 (Xinhua) -- A NATO air strike killed 60 Taliban insurgents including three important commanders in Jalai district of Kandahar province in southern Afghanistan, provincial police chief Asmatullah Alizai told Xinhua Tuesday.

NATO air forces bombarded some Taliban hideouts in the district on Monday night after receiving a credible tip-off, Alizai said, adding he did not know how many militants were injured.

The killed commanders were Mullah Abdul Hanan, Mullah Zekria and Mullah Zarif, Alizai said.

A searching operation for Taliban remnants in the area is going on, he added.

I have to correct my above response a bit. Parts of the US Forces (reconstruction) are part of ISAF. However the combat troops are “Enduring Freedom”.

The more deal Islamofascists there are, the safer the entire world. Too bad we can’t kill Sadr and take out the entire Sunni triangle.

Al-Qaeda strikes at anti-Taliban spies
By Syed Saleem Shahzad

KARACHI - There was no doubt in the Pakistani intelligence community when Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah was killed in Afghanistan last weekend by US-led forces that retaliatory action would be taken against anti-Taliban collaborators.

Bravo to every solider who participated in this victory against Islamic terrorism!

This should be front page news on the New York Times, but then again, they would say America should feel bad for removing the jihadist lice.
