25 Taliban Killed

After being ambushed by the taliban, Afghan police killed 25 taliban including Mullah Naqibullah, a prominent commander.


KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan police have killed 25 Taliban fighters including an insurgent commander in a clash in the south of the country, the Interior Ministry said on Thursday.

The militants were killed in Nadi Ali district of Helmand on Wednesday after they ambushed a police vehicle in the province, a main Taliban bastion and the biggest drug-producing region of Afghanistan, world's top supplier of heroin.

"It is worth mentioning that Mullah Naqibullah who was regarded as a prominent commander of the Taliban is amongst those killed," the ministry said in a statement.

Naqibullah twice escaped from Afghan government prisons, the statement said. He boasted earlier this year he had managed to flee after paying a $15,000 bribe, local media said.

A Taliban spokesman, Qari Mohammad Yousuf, confirmed the clash, but denied Naqibullah's death, adding only one militant was killed, the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press reported.

Terrorist heaven puts in an order for 25 x 72 = 1800 virgins. Mind you, at this stage the virgins are more than likely recycled ones and not entirely fresh.

This is also very good news in that it shows the increased confidence of the Afghan Police in themselves to stand and fight and defeat the Taliban savages.

lol...yeah that reminds me of that danish cartoon where allah tells the dead terrorists that they're out of virgins.

Yeah I noticed the Afghan police killed the taliban all by themselves. They've come a long way in only a few short years
