The fanatical Taliban mastermind behind recent attacks in which six British soldiers died in Afghanistan has been killed in a missile attack by an Army Apache helicopter.
In what military chiefs described as a 'deliberate and surgical strike', the 35-year-old rebel leader - known as Sadiqullah - died alongside nine fellow Taliban fighters after the Apache fired two laser-guided Hellfire missiles at their red pick-up truck and destroyed it.
The rebel leader had been tracked down after weeks of secret intelligence work.
His death would have been instantaneous, as the warheads of the 5ft-long missiles, which travel at 950mph, are loaded with high-explosives designed to destroy even the heaviest tank armour.

Presumably he would have noticed the Apache in his rearview mirror. That might have given him pause (and a need for clean underwear).
We may regret the fact that his passing was so quick and probably painless, but what is going to happen to him in the afterlife will not be quick or painless. The thought of Satan the Devil torturing him forever makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Candy-gram for Mr. Abdulla!
Love this!
if you get killed by an Apache helicopter you get less virgins I heard. Talk about bad luck.
AFAIK, that is “true”, the Al Quida in Iraq “prince” died of compression injuries from the 500 pd bombs.
Still and all though, eye to eye cheek to cheek blade work sends and entirely different message...
A wacko got wacked and sent back home to satan
He died instantly?
What a waste of Hellfire!
Yeah, my first choice would have been cold steel wielded by the SAS.
If so, the last thing he ever saw was an American soldier standing over him, grinning.
Corrected...

I love the smell of vaporized terrorists in the morning!...
Cold steel wielded by the SAS would have been a lot cheaper too.
But I’ll take whatever I can get.
Big thumbs up to the pilot and copilot/gunner though.
Whatever, sounds like a good strike and good intelligence. Waiting on the usual post-action media report of 'civilian casualties' from 'local sources'.
Beautiful lady. God be with you, Cpl. Bryant. I’m glad we Americans could do something for our friend.
You're the virgin and satan's got all the time in the world to take a personal interest in you.
Died after an hour: “Fatal death occurred as lung function deteriorated and the lungs became progressively unable to absorb oxygen into bloodstream.” http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/5072104.stm#map
Died gasping for breath. He saw plenty of who got him.
Well, when you care enough to send the very best...
i’m stealing that graphic for so many reasons. thanks!
