Re: Nato airstrike kills Maulvi Dadullah among 13 in Afghanistan
^ I can agree with ending the Taliban menace but I doubt they can work together as there is lack of trust on both sides.
Re: Nato airstrike kills Maulvi Dadullah among 13 in Afghanistan
true, mutual trust is lacking.
btw, in other news, few days back, militants from across border attacked checkpost in Bajaur agency which has taken 7 soldiers lives. and 65 militants have been killed in the ongoing clashes continued for the fourth day, it seems like ttp is taking revenge for killing of ttp chief. But, what I fail to understand is that, what is Afghan/ISAF doing to stop these border attacks? if suppose, this attack was from Pakistan side, they would have started with their parrotic statements that these are ISI proxy group, and Pakistan needs to do more. etc etc. isnt it their responsibility to take measures on border security or they have just handed over eastern province to taliban?
Re: Nato airstrike kills Maulvi Dadullah among 13 in Afghanistan
Afghan and coalition confirmed Sunday that the Tehrik-i Taliban leader Maulawi Dadullah was one of several insurgents killed in a precision airstrike in Shigal wa Sheltan district, Kunar province, yesterday. Maulawi Dadullah, also known as Jamal, was responsible for the movement of fighters and weapons, as well as attacks against Afghan and coalition forces. Dadullah’s deputy, Shakir, was also killed in the airstrike. After the strike, the Afghan and coalition security force conducted a post-strike assessment and determined no civilians had been injured and no civilian property had been damaged.
The NATO Spokesperson said, “Mullah Dadullah was an extremely dangerous militant. He posed a clear and present danger to coalition, Afghan and Pakistani forces, to innocent civilians on both sides of the border, and to the cause of peace and stability in the region. We have pursued such threats relentlessly since this conflict began. We also have long believed that close cooperation with our Pakistani partners is critical in combating the menace of terrorism, and dealing with this target furthers that objective as well.”
