Big Kill In Afghanistan: Mullah Dadullah Dead

Excellent.

Pretty On Pink.

This is the "Taliban Zarqawi" that was reported surrounded by Afghan troops a few weeks ago, along with a group of his fighters. Including his brother, it seems -- who's also reported dead.

Check out this amazing catch by Allah:

The Taliban however denied that its notorious one-legged commander was dead, promising to produce a fresh recording of his voice to prove that he was alive.

Allah commented prior to the confirmation of Dadullah's death:

The Taliban is promising a “fresh voice recording” of Dadullah to prove that he’s alive. This was a guy known for his videos, mind you, so the fact that they’re promising audio only is telling.

Can anyone else think of a major Al Qaeda figure once known for his videos but lately only making sporadic "fresh voice recordings"?

Did the Taliban just give away a standard operating procedure it would have been better to keep secret?

More: from Dan Riehl, including the fact that at least 70 "insurgents" have been killed in this latest coalition push through southern Afghanistan.
