PESHAWAR: A top Taliban commander who was injured in a military operation in which he was arrested last week, died from his injuries on Sunday, the Pakistani military said.
'Sher Mohammad Qasab, who had multiple bullet wounds succumbed to his injuries on Sunday morning,' it said in a statement.
The army had Wednesday arrested Sher Mohammad Qasab, who is one of the most senior Taliban commanders on a most wanted list in the Swat valley that offered Rs10 million in reward money.
'A team of army doctors was treating Sher Mohammad Qasab but he could not survive,' the statement said.
The army had earlier said Qasab was injured and arrested in a military operation in which three of his sons were killed and another captured.
Qasab's capture was the third high-profile arrest since the government announced the arrest of Swat Taliban spokesman Muslim Khan and Mahmood Khan, a northern commander.
The military said Sher Muhammad Qasab was the Taliban commander in Charbagh, in the heart of the mountainous northwest district where Pakistan launched its most determined assault to date against Islamist militants in May.
Adios, mo' fo' .
Great news! Thanks for posting and commenting.
This mo’fo’ is no’mo’.
oooops
Just so long as he was not “Shot while trying to excape”!
Gee, a work related death. So sad. Bwahahaha!
Enjoy hell turkey!
I’m all for outsourcing prisons to the Afghans, Pakistanis and Iraqis. They deal properly with captive terrorists.
‘Hope they got a lot of info out of him before he embarked on his mission to hell.
Another unfortunate victim of lead poisoning.
Rough break A hole!!!!

A military spokesman in Swat on Wednesday accused Qasab of personally beheading members of the security forces and setting fire to a dozen girls' schools in different parts of the valley, where Westerners once went skiing.
"He was running a slaughter centre at Charbagh where he himself used to slaughter opponents and security personnel," the spokesman said.
Good. The earth is minus one more cancer cell. Roast in hell, muzzie.
What bothers me about this newsbite isn’t that the roach excrement died, but the word “arrested.” On the battlefield you “capture.” In the civilian world you “arrest.” The military mindset is “proactive,” they “attack.” The civilian mindset is “reactive” they “respond.” There, in one word, is why we will take unnecessary casualties and eventually lose. Just because we could win doesn’t mean we will. Reference, for example, Viet Nam. An American negotiator in Paris said to his Vietnamese counterpart (I paraphrase), “You’ve never won a single battle.” The Vietnamese responded, “Yet here we sit at the behest of your government. We have won the war.” The Obama administration will bleed us until the public can’t take it anymore and then a Republican will get elected and Congress will cancel the money for a war we could have won. (If, we fought it as a war and not a police action.)
To be perfectly fair, under Bush, I read there was something like 10,000 lawyers in the Pentagon. They were already beginning this Miranda rights on the battlefield travesty even then. The lawyers would (I’ve read) issue long briefs about what soldiers couldn’t do and say very little about what they could do.
In short, it’s time to clean out the military as well as the administration. We could always re-assign the lawyers to bomb disposal or latrine cleaning.
Gee, a work related death. So sad. Bwahahaha! .......................... Why bring that up, now we’ll have a 100+ trial attorneys flying over there to get a WC case.
The Pak Army should have beheaded him before he died, just like he did to countless hundreds of innocent Pak victims.
I'm sure they were...
Wonder how he liked being on the wrong end of a sharp instrument?
