This was a follow-on attack. The original strike was a few hours earlier at a compound two clicks away. We are trying to hit Shamsullah, one of Taliban leader Maulvi Nazir commanders.

Shamsullah was thought to be at the first compound. As the Taliban transported the wounded to the compound in this attack, Shamsullah arrived and it is hoped that we degraded him and his command.

Shamsullah has been very active in Afghanistan, transporting fighters and arms from Pakistan.
