Abu Baqir Got Drone-Zapped |
2010-08-16 |
![]() A Coalition air weapons team killed an al Qaeda commander who also served as a Taliban leader in the volatile northern Afghan province of Kunduz. Abu Baqir, who was described as "a dual-hatted Taliban sub-commander and al Qaeda group leader," was killed along with another Taliban operative after he and other members of his cell attacked the police station in the district of Alibad. Two other Taliban fighters were wounded in the airstrike, and were captured at a hospital while receiving treatment for their wounds. One hopes they are willing and able to give lots of useful information to their 'interviewers' before succumbing to sepsis. |
