A Taliban "sub-commander" and al Qaeda group leader was killed Sunday after a coalition force air weapons team targeted his truck, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said Monday.
Abu Baqir was one of two insurgents killed in the strike, which took place after the air weapons team saw them attacking a police station in Aliabad, Afghanistan, ISAF said in a statement. "The air weapons team tracked the insurgents from the police station and when they determined no civilians were in the area, they engaged the truck," the statement said.
Baqir was reportedly housing four potential suicide bombers for upcoming attacks on the city of Kunduz, ISAF said.
Other insurgents were wounded in the strike. Two were later detained at a hospital, the statement said.
In December 2009, White House National Security Adviser James Jones told CNN's "The Situation Room" that fewer than 100 members of al Qaeda were operating in Afghanistan.
"The maximum estimate is less than 100 operating in the country," he said. "No bases. No ability to launch attacks on either us or our allies."
Who said that it'd be easy? Let's kill thugs with drones!
george pattan did i upset you,i am glad what are you al-qaeda or something.
A sub-commander? Since when did the Taliban get subs???

Gary Johndro. If you get between me and my man you are heading for a world of hurt.
Just "adapt" yourself and apologise to your son.

The Eagle Has landed. This is another example. Report it.
That depends on which one you are talking about, the one here stole someone's name and i would appreciate it if you reported it as i do.
I just reported you for stealing mine,Phunnie boy.You ought to be ahamed of yourself for your love of this obscene war!!!If you like this war so much,why don't you just post it under your own name???
BUBBA–ALABAMA STYLE!!! Which name is that and why did you start it?
I guess that the're paying this broad a lot with our tax dollars,trying to "buy' a military victory like we did in Iraq!!!
I wish You People would stop acting like Children are go play some place else!!! It is getting Boring already!!!
Having a good time phonie boy?
Now that is childish!!!
But true...
I'm still waiting for a intelligent thing coming from you too!!! What does spelling have to do with what You know??? Some times I'm tired from answering so many of these messages that I misspell words too!!! So what is the big deal??? I don't know enough about the subject to say who is right and who is wrong!!! All I know is they have the right to say it... without People like You saying anything about it!!!
Well we can't help but notice! Take his computer away or at least hit him in the head again. It can only help him.
That is when the trouble started.
Yak, you've been spending way too much time in the poppy fields.
Yeah, right. That's how your Paki Taliban brethren make their money! And since you're aware of this, that makes you a hypocrite.
Why don't You both Brow Up??? It is boring reading what You two have to say about each other!!!
YABBA-DABBA-DOO!!!
Another lie from the king of lies. That's the way of the Paki.
2 more terrorist losers bite the dust. We are getting them one at a time.
Hey you,quit blogging under my my name,will you?We already have too many people glofying this obscene war as it is!
The virgins from these countries would have a lot more class than to "do" Muslim nutcases. The virgins from these countries have a mind of their own and a free will. They would tell these bozos to go to hell where they belong.
Really??? I thought you liked stealing other peoples call sign, like the USMC Forever's call sign that you stole. Not funny anymore is it smart guy????Well are you done with his call sign or do I continue????
I hate it when People do it to me too!!!
That goes for me too!
Me too, i blame it on all those leftist 'wing nuts'
Seems like these "leaders" are in no short supply.
The supply of virgins for all these "martyrs" must be getting critically low.
The only Virgins in this Country are Children!!! Once they hit 13 most of them loses their sherry... Especially if they are poor...
Larry Valecia, Calif.US Army Forever... Sherry? are you insinuating they are spilling sweet fortified wine?
And also when she decides to leave him she is not accused of adultery and subjected to death by stoning.
And more lies, are not Islamic suicide bombers promised 72 virgins in heaven?
These "martyrs" must be real babe magnets when they're pieced back together after blowing themselves to bits. They must have a martyr restoration shop in Paradise. I wonder if they ever mix up the body parts from one martyr to another. They must look a little like the classic Frankenstein monster with all the sutures and staples. I could see where all the virgins would be knocking each other over to get at these guys. "Oh baby, let me run my fingers through your......scabs".

Virgins for these for these guys in heaven will never be in short supply because they keep attacking girl schools!! That is why they want boy and girl schools seperated.
