Sweet! Taliban Commander Killed By U.S./Afghan Forces

The U.S., NATO and Afghan forces got one of their main targets in eastern Afghanistan - Mullah Sangeen.

This was the 2nd in command for the Taliban in eastern Afghanistan and will be a huge blow to the Taliban. If I had one wish at this point, it would be that several of the NATO countries would commit some fresh new troops to Afghanistan as the success lately has been considerable but there simply is a need for more troops.

Here's the full story of the end of one worthless Mullah Sangeen.

US, Afghan Troops Kill Militant Commander

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -
U.S.-led coalition and Afghan forces killed a senior militant commander responsible for roadside bombings and other attacks in eastern Afghanistan, the coalition said Friday.
The joint forces killed Mullah Sangeen during an operation Tuesday, the statement said. The coalition did not disclose the exact location of the operation.
Sangeen was second-in-comand to Siraj Haqqani, a militant leader in eastern Afghanistan.

The U.S. government had offered $20,000 for information leading to Sangeen's capture or killing. It was not immediately clear whether the reward helped in locating and killing him.
