Brutal Taliban leader killed ‘by US forces’

The body of the Taliban’s most feared commander was put on display yesterday after he was killed in an operation including US special forces. It was the Islamic rebels’ biggest single loss since it was toppled from power in 2001. Mullah Dadullah Akhund, a one-legged battlefield veteran, was so bloodthirsty that he was once dismissed from office by the Taliban because of his excessive brutality.

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer, move deserving guy!
