Taliban leader in Kandahar killed in raid
The top Taliban commander in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar has been killed, NATO-led forces said Friday.
Mullah Zergay directed insurgent activities in two districts of Kandahar province, including the city of Kandahar, said a statement from the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). He was killed in a raid last week in Zhari district.
Afghan and international troops had been tracking Zergay's location for several weeks and raided a Taliban safe haven May 28 to capture him. Zergay and several members of his security detail were killed in the ensuing fight, ISAF said.
The early-morning raid included air support, said Sardar Mohammed Zazai, the chief of police in Kandahar province. He said seven Taliban members were killed in addition to Zergay.
Zergay was characterized by ISAF as a man who "rose to power through violent intimidation campaigns against civilians and by leading kidnappings and executions of government employees and village elders."
His death was a "major loss for the Taliban" in southern Afghanistan, ISAF said.
Muslims who are so proud of their religion should prevent the terrorism. why they wait till someone else fix their problems. Many people who blame USA are trying to get US passports and line up to migrate to US. why dont you guys go to Afghanistan and help less fortunate of your own kind. you all are who write comments against USA should look after your own kind and also must teach them how to fly in jumbo jets correctly rather than flying in to offices where innocent people work for their living. I know personally how terrible it is to see such things as one of Banks here blew off right front of me and many jumped off from the building. Here it only 32 stories. In USA it altogether ten time more . How can they bear ?How can they forget? We Sri lankans could not bear falling down 32 stories and death toll of 1132 and how US bear the feeling of more than 3000 death. US government too should not trust each and every one who enter their home land. May the truth Rule over the earth.
Let it Rip !!! and lose them stupid new rules of engagement....
to the earlier line about true islam. Islam does not beget violence. I can't see the true justification for a jihad, as ISAF is not really attacking your religion. Hell, if they weren't getting blown up Afghans might actually get running water before we leave.
IKRAM You are so right hell is were they belong killing kids and women that have nothing to do with they way of thinking.
I'm glad they got him, but we need to big Kauhuna. Reading this forum, I would think this is a religious war, and not a war on terrorist extremism. I'm not a religious person but there are extremist in both christianity and muslim faiths. This war will never be over, because what is needed to win is intangible
I have heard from one group that Islam is peaceful and the other that it has nothing buy jihad designs. I did a search for Mohamed on google. I found many different sites. Two were written by Christian groups, one by an atheist, and the others were academic. I discounted the Christian and atheist ones as I found them to be biased. I read the academic ones and what I found was disturbing. I have always thought of Islam as being a peaceful religion until I read many of the Surah verses written by Mohamed. It is anything but peaceful. If you doubt me, look it up for yourself and READ.
Can anyone explain why Islam teaches that any country not ran by sharia law is considered an infidel state that should be deceived and/or destroyed?
All taliban need to be killed before they poison more school girls. Taliban men are afraid of school girls so they poison them. Cowards and wimps.
I feel sorry for you!! You are so brainwashed by your govt. through the American media that you cannot think straight. Do you really believe that the Taliban will go about poisoning their own children?? The Taliban are the Afghan people. It is the foreign agents that are killing the afghan women, children and girls and the Afghan people know this very well. That is why the support for the Taliban have increased a hundred fold.
Very well put,Eric !!!
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa...
Bwaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
If Americans think of making empires tehy can ask The Great Alaxander, Moghul, Russians and Britain. The day will come where there will be cheers of kneeling down US empires. If they want to make we are here to break.
Kandahar
I think the empire one has forgot walking in the cemetry of killed soldiers. US is experiencing empire now but Afghans had 5 empires in the history (Sorian, Ghoryan, Timoryan, Ghaznawyan and Abdalyan). Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires and the birthplace of empires also. We are going to kneel down this empire. There are 10000 graves more waiting. we will grave the imperialistic dreams of US as we graved of UK. Try to respect American democrocy.
It is illicit that Canada has taken Muslim Hostages of EU or other Nationals in Canada or elsewhere and is pretending that there is war of crusade is on going between Islam and NATO in Afghanistan following 9/11 pretext for the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan.Alas,for 3 decades as a victim of Canada myself I wasted effort.I can assure you none of 1.4 billion Muslims know that is the game Harper Netanyahu seem Playing.Obama's USA and UK seem to be under the impression that Afghanistan is controlled by Muslim Drug Lords and they are helping kill Afghan look alike civilian with Mujahediin who were helping them defeat Russians (mainly Muslim Russians).With a Trillion Dollar Stimulus Package in USA and 1000% increaded Drug crime increased in Mexico with Canadian Banks investments and Billions of Pound Sterling missing from UK amid their own stimulus package with £1=Cn$1.4 from £1=cn $2.5 both Netanyahu and Harper seem playing double game in Afghan killing machine.few thousands NATO Canadian in Afghanistan in the middle of 750million Muslims from Pakistan to Turkey and from Gaza to Kazakhstan (with Tel Aviv Haifa sandwitched) with narrow
strip of km of Israel at Eilat to Gaza West Bank inpursuit to kill Muslim Mujahediin using terminology Taliban Alqaeda of 9/11 is fraud.
As long as I can still get my Slurpee on a hot day all Muslims can stay here and I support them 100%. No Slurpee, you go home.
It's scary how easy it is to mislead and misinform people. To take it on blind faith that this really happened is just wishful thinking. There is never any proof or evidence that these people have been killed plus we have no idea who these leaders are or what they have done. The government or military sends out a press release and that's all there is to any of this. There was the British and Russians before us. And they tried using Military Power to change or redirect the politics of the people of Afghanistan. The only thing we know for sure is that using Military Force against the Afghanistan people doesn't seem to work.
Now here is a guy who has seen the light instead of believing the crap that the US army is reporting. All the rest of the posts are from members of the mushroom club (i.e. those who are kept in the dark and fed crap by the US/Nato army)
. . .Or those who actually serve/d in the US/NATO army, and really know what's what.
Really Charles. Well i am an American muslim. You wanna kick me out. Go for it. Well why dont we do it the proper way. You all get out of Islamic lands, take all the native christians and the Jews with you from our lands with you and i promise you i will be the first one to leave your country and renounce my citizenship.
If not then go crawl back into your white, hick, trash household and your demented upbringing and stop talking tough internet Rambo.
I think we should kill them all, no mercy, just kill them all. Then Kick the rest of them out of america!
dont forget we must close all the 7-11s, pizza pizzas and any other business owned and operated by the islamic murderers and freaks
Great. News you can never get tired of hearing. Keep On Trucking. First we Drone these Islamo fascists and then we hit the Neo-Bolsheviks and Activists.
This is getting to be a little on the yaaawwwnnning side. Every week we are told the top Taliban leader has been killed.
Well, we fought Zergay a lot back in 2008, and he was a real pain in the butt then, so *I* like hearing that someone finally killed him. A big BZ to the folks that got him.
STRIKE!!!
is it me or is there tons of taliban and alqearda leaders out there to be killed. nukes fokes... nukes... forget nationbuilding.... and use nukes.... then let the tribals take over the radioactive wastelands... think fallout 1 2 & 3 and tactics...
Great idea and let the radioactive dust go airborne so that everyone on the planet can enjoy the glow by looking at their fingers and their lips. You wouldn't think that brain death would be so popular, but hey if it blocks out the horror of reality, why not right?
OOOOPS ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST.....
Great job ISAF, All the Taliban have to do is put down their arms and help rebuild Afghanistan. Oh yea and kick out the terrorist
awesome, now we just need to maintain this pace of icing a top tier commander about every week or so, and we should be doing well.
Thet ALL need to meet ALLAH.
yes they all must go soon.. to meet their fake god....
Allah Akhbar go to hell
don't say like this, stupid guy say like this.
Yea, what Tony said Mohammed and Allah Ackbar GO TO HELL, and if this offendes Muzlims, too bad so sad, fix your religion LOSERS!!!!! Oh and don't forget to pack your crap and Leave America, thats right, get the hell out!!!!!!
What a shame that pig Mullah Zergay died so quick... It would have been fun to put him in an anthill and let the sun cook him for a couple of days... He would have been singing some tunes so we could find his other buddies....Semper Fi...
You are right and Semper Fi brother!!!
chino bandido,you must be another Tea Partier spewing all that hate around!Between you,Gary Johndro,Chuckster,Jerry and too many others,this country will never come out of it's severe depression and be perpetually at war!Woe to us!!!
Onesmallvoice: I haven't said anything, up to now that is, Anabel...
Allah is running out of room to store those Bastrads....God Bless America
Raymond he is not storing them but putting them in Hell do not worry about storage space he's got plenty.
Anyone that kills any innocent Human being will go to Hell, no matter what faith he belongs too. Muslim Christian Jew etc.
You are so right killing inocent people( Muslim's Jews" Christians') should go and burn in Hell.
One by one those two leged rats will fall...
Another one bites the dust. I'm telling you right now, we will get everyone of you RATS in your holes one at a time. Allah will be proud!!!!!
I agree with you.The more of these guys we take out,the closer we come to building our glorious empire making these Afghanis chant "Allah Snackbar" insted of "Allah Akbar"!
Gray you are high on Grass, get over this empire thing it an't going to happen ever.
EXACTLY... The sooner you rats die the sooner you will go to heaven where 40 virgins are waiting for you..
Most idiotic promise I have ever heard...
GO USA GO CANADA GO ENGLAND!!!!
Tony where did you get this info about 40 virgins, it is same sort of info that Christ died for all your Sins.
Wake up and read all about the true Islam and not go by what these So called Muslims say.
alislam.com or Ahmediya muslim television International ( MTA )
If you keep insulting other cultures and their religions, why should they ever welcome you. It's one thing to come into another country with respect and offering assistance while respecting the people, and another to insult them and gloat over bombings of civilians. It makes you as bad as them.
Leroy I agree with everything you said except one thing concerns me. The general public is made to believe that the US is always killing "innocent civilians". The truth of the matter is the line is really blurred. There is so much support from civilians from these guys that is makes them not civilians. That of course does not include children. If they are truly innocent then God will welcome them into heaven and it's a shame but if they are not they will be in for a rude awakening.
Well it is good to hear the forces are getting better at getting the bad guys without the civilian casulties & in ground ops too, that is good. If they would just get the rest of the troop build up in there & push hard & fast I think this conflict would be over in 1yr & then we could spend 2-3yr rebuilding & training & be done with a great triumph for civil society advancement.
May GOD bless & keep us all !!!!!!!!!!!
Right on!!!!!!!!!!
A couple of days ago, US war with Afghanistan has become the longest war in US history. Longer then World War 2 and longer then Vietnam. Who is really winning the war? Wasn't the US supposed to win a long time ago? Who is making billions off this war?
When you find out you will realize its all business. It has nothing to do with religion culture or anything else they try to make you believe.
Everyone knew this would not be a simple war. It practically a never ending war to tell you the truth. These enemies of ours have no sovereignty... no country to take over. While this war will go on for decades, the cost of this war is not as high as compared to ww2 or Vietnam. This is a slow battle, primary based on intelligence. Their objective is to outlast us... long enough that we forget 9/11.
You've said it all,Sal!!!
I agree 100%!!!!
