Top Taliban Commander Mullah Dadullah Reported Killed in Southern Afghanistan

According to Afghan officials, Taliban Commander Mullah Dadullah has been killed during an operation in the Helmand province... that’s in the southern part of Afghanistan.

If this report turns out to be true... and it’s looking that way... Dadullah would be one of the highest-ranking Taliban leaders to be killed since the fall of the Taliban following the invasion in 2001.

His death would be seen as a major victory for the Afghanistan Government, and for the U.S. - NATO troops.

God’s speed and good hunting goes out to all of those on the trail of the remaining top Taliban and al-Qaeda leaders, in and around Afghanistan.
