US Strike Kills Taliban Splinter Commander, Other Fighters. by Lekison(m): 5:10pm On Jan 09, 2020
A US airstrike killed a Taliban splinter-group commander and several other fighters in the western Afghan province of Herat, Afghan and military sources said on Thursday.
The commander, named as Mullah Nangyalay, was killed in Shindand district, close to the border with Iran, said Herat provincial governor’s spokesman Jailani Farhad.
Nangyalay split from the main branch of the Taliban after the 2013 death of founder Mullah Omar and joined a smaller breakaway faction led by a commander known as Mullah Rasool.
A senior provincial police source said the airstrike had been carried out by a US drone.
Resolute Support, NATO’s mission in Afghanistan, told AFP their forces had launched “a defensive air strike in support of Afghan forces”, with a spokesman confirming US participation in the operation.
The main Taliban group has been negotiating with Washington for more than a year over the withdrawal of US troops in exchange for security guarantees from the militants that could pave the way to intra-Afghan peace talks.

Another good effort. Going for the decision makers who are usually the inciters, extolling the virtues of being a Martyr to their brainwashed legions. Yet these commanders never go to the battle front .
They extoll the rewards of. martyrdom yet never fight for their 72 virgins unless they are smoked out when then their successors call them Shahid.
Qassam Suleiman was declared a Shahid, he will get 72 virgins even though only his hand was left intact.

The Iranian feeble bombings by the Ayatollah of Iraq bases was codenamed Operation Shahid Suleiman. Stop being a liar or being lazy
