[DAWN] A senior Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... military commander has been killed in a US Arclight airstrike in Afghanistan, officials said on Sunday.
Abdul Manan, who was the Taliban's 'shadow governor' in the southern Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... province, died of wounds sustained during an airstrike late on Saturday said Omar Zwak, a front man for the official governor of the province.
Manan's death was also confirmed by the Taliban who in a statement described it as a "big loss" for the group but vowed that it will not affect their military operations.
Helmand ‐ the region that supplies the largest share of Afghanistan's opium crop ‐ has been the scene of bitter fighting for years with 10 out of 14 districts of the province either controlled or contested by the Taliban.
As a senior Taliban leader, Abdul Manan had led the insurgency group's expansion as it expanded control over the opium-rich province in recent years.
Afghan interior ministry front man Najib Danish said Manan was the Death Eaters' top military leader in southern Afghanistan and his death was a major blow to the Taliban.
"His death will lower the morale of the enemy, and result in (the) improvement of security in Helmand and other southern provinces," Najib Danish told AFP.
Danish said that 32 other Taliban fighters were also killed in the airstrike.
A US force front man in Afghanistan confirmed the airstrike had killed the Taliban shadow governor.
"The Taliban should consider intensifying peace talks, not the fight. They're going to have trouble intensifying the fight when their fighters and leaders are under constant assault," Col Dave Butler said in a statement.
Abdul Manan was on the blacklist unveiled mid-October by the Riyadh-based Terrorist Financing Targeting Center (TFTC), which imposed financial sanctions on nine individuals, including six Taliban members.

Gunmen from Boko Haram faction the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... West Africa Province (ISWAP) attacked a remote base in Buni Gari village, in Yobe state, 60 kilometres (37 miles) from the state capital Damaturu on Saturday, with six of the attackers killed.
"We lost two soldiers in the attack and six bandidosmurderous Moslems were also killed and their bodies recovered by soldiers," a military officer told AFP.
Air support and reinforcements from a military base in the nearby town of Buni Yadi "effectively routed" the jihadists, said the officer. He asked not to be named because he was not cleared to speak about the incident.
A member of the militia fighting beside the troops confirmed that the bodies of two soldiers and six jihadists had been recovered after the shootout, which lasted less than an hour.

"The bomber and her accomplice were killed in the blast while five of our colleagues were maimed," Kolo said.
"The explosives on the other bomber did not detonate and were defused by a bomb squad," he said.

Boko Haram has in recent months intensified attacks on military targets in Borno and Yobe states.

"The group was lost in the middle of the desert around 35 kilometers from the al-Tanf base," the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told AFP.

It sustains its operations although Syria and its allies defeated the outfit late last year.
