Another bright spot in Afghanistan operations as NATO forces along with Afghan army troops have killed a senior Taliban leader and two of his high level commanders in a raid in Farah province. You won't see these kinds of stories on the MSM as they reserve their Afghanistan War footage for only the news that fits their surrender agenda. But when our guys do the job that only they can do and take down the worst of the worst of the Taliban, we're here to cheer 'em on.

The story is from DAWN.




Afghan-Nato raids kill, capture Taliban commanders


KABUL: Nato says joint raids with Afghan forces have killed at least three and captured 11 Taliban commanders and facilitators who provided logistical support and weapons to insurgents.

Friday’s statement from the coalition says an operation earlier this week in Bakwah district in Farah province resulted in the killing of a senior insurgent leader and two of his commanders, as well as a ”number of additional insurgents.”

Early on Friday, Nato and Afghan troops captured 11 Taliban fighters or sympathizers in five separate operations across the country.

Nighttime kill-and-capture raids, in which a number of civilians have died, have become a flashpoint for anger over foreign meddling in Afghanistan. President Hamid Karzai has demanded that foreign troops stop breaking into homes.
