Top Taliban Killed? A Taliban Execution Gone Terribly Wrong
Above is an image of Mullah Dadullah Monsoor at a "graduation ceremony" for up and coming suicide bombers. Jimbo dropped me the good news that he may have gone to meet Allah prematurely today.
And get this: the leaders were supposedly gathered to watch the Taliban hang two "spies".
The U.S.-led coalition said Friday it had launched an air strike on a meeting of top Taliban commanders in a militant stronghold in Afghanistan, and local officials said more than a dozen rebels and civilians had been killed.Keep your fingers crossed....The coalition issued a brief statement on the strike Thursday in a remote area of Baghran district in southern Helmand province, saying it targeted two Taliban commanders. It gave few other details and no word of casualties.....
An even higher-ranked leader, Dadullah Mansoor, commander of the Taliban for all of southern Afghanistan, was present at the meeting hit by the strike, but his fate was not known, Azimi said. ...
Taliban militants were hanging two local people accused of spying for the government. Other villagers had come out to watch when the bombs fell, he said.
