Yee ha!From Yahoo News: Mullah Dadullah, a top lieutenant of Taliban leader Mullah Omar, was killed Saturday in the southern province of Helmand [Afghanistan], said Said Ansari, the spokesman for Afghanistan's intelligence service. NATO confirmed his death, calling it "a serious blow" to the insurgency.
Dadullah is one of the highest-ranking Taliban leaders killed since the fall of the hard-line regime following the U.S.-led invasion in 2001. His death represents a major victory for the Afghan government and the international coalition that has struggled to contain a Taliban-led insurgency wracking the south and east of the country.
Boola boola! Mullah Dadullah No Longah Da Rulah!"Mullah Dadullah was the backbone of the Taliban," said Asadullah Khalid,
governor of the former Taliban stronghold of Kandahar. "He was a brutal and
cruel commander who killed and beheaded Afghan civilians."
