SNIPPET: “Dawn reports on the death of a dangerous Taliban commander who was captured in Swat on Sept. 22 after being “seriously wounded.” According to the military, Abu Faraj, a deputy to Mullah Fazlullah and a commander notorious for training and plotting suicide attacks, was killed during a clash in Swat while accompanying troops:
In Swat, 13 insurgents were killed in clashes with security forces on Thursday.
According to Swat media centre, security personnel came under fire when they raided a Taliban hideout in Sigram area of Koza Bandai. During an exchange of fire, 10 militants and one soldier were killed.
Detained militant commander Mohammad Naseem alias Abu Faraj was with the troops and he was also killed in the clash. Abu Faraj, a close aide of Maulana Fazlullah, was captured by security forces in September.”
Shame they had to die before Obammy invited them to the White House.
