US air raid kills about 50 Taliban: officials About 50 Taliban guerrillas were killed in a US-led air strike on a mosque in Afghanistan's southern province of Helmand on Monday, according to military and Afghan officials. Several "Taliban leaders" were among those killed in the pre-dawn attack in Kajaki district of province, Amir Mohammad Akhundzada, deputy provincial governor said.
"The Taliban were meeting in a mosque when the bombardment took place," Mr Akhundzada told Reuters by phone from Helmand.
"More than 50 of them have been killed."
Major Quentin Innes, a Canadian spokesman serving with the US-led troops in the south, said that up to 50 Taliban may have been killed when aircraft dropped two bombs on a compound, rather than a mosque.
He said the air attack was summoned after a group of Taliban ambushed a coalition convoy without managing to inflict any casualties. "The group then fled into a compound ... and we estimate that up to 50 of the attackers may have been killed," he said. Major Innes confirmed that a joint ground and air operation involving US-led and Afghan forces was going on in the district to hunt Taliban insurgents.

Under any realistic scenario, he has a manageable [i.e. limited] number of direct reports. And that number has to be small, probably within a dozen.

The job has a high turnover rate,and since this Zarqawi,although deadly, seems to be somthing out of Woody Allen's Bananas, he needs all the helphe can get.

How many aides does this guy have?! He's getting down to the "B" list guys. And that's good.
Who would want to be his "aide" knowing how fast we pick them off? Correction, maybe he's down to the "C" list guys..

Anyone can fire a gun or drive a VBIED but it takes some knowledge to be an international recruiter or to organize an attack on troops etc.
