KANDAHAR, Afghanistan – An Afghan-international coalition force used a precision air strike to kill one of the two most senior Taliban leaders in Kandahar Province, and several of his fighters on May 30, in Panjwa’i district. “In Kandahar Province, efforts are underway in Zharay, Panjwa’i, and Arghandab districts to protect the people from the insurgency,” U.S. Army Col. Wayne Shanks, ISAF Public Affairs Officer, said.
One of these operations targeted an insurgent commander, Haji Amir, in the Dand district of Kandahar Province. Amir was the second most dangerous insurgent leader in Kandahar and had escaped from Sarposa prison in 2008.
