阿富汗塔利班證實最高指揮官被殺 (Afghanistan: Taleban Confirms Death of Top Commander)

阿富汗塔利班組織證實，該組織最高作戰(zhàn)指揮官在同美國和阿富汗部隊發(fā)生的一場沖突中被打死。

塔利班發(fā)言人對幾家通訊社說，毛拉.達杜拉星期六在阿富汗南部被打死。

北約官員說，達杜拉的死亡對塔利班反叛活動來說是一記沉重打擊。

達杜拉是在赫爾曼德省由美國領(lǐng)導、并得到北約部隊支持的一次行動中被打死的。

達杜拉被控對阿富汗和國際部隊發(fā)動攻擊、砍頭、并且綁架外國人。

他是美國領(lǐng)導的軍隊自2001年推翻阿富汗塔利班政權(quán)以來塔利班組織被打死的最高領(lǐng)導人之一。

The Taleban in Afghanistan has confirmed that the movement's top operational commander was killed during a clash with U.S. and Afghan forces.

Taleban spokesmen told several news agencies that Mullah Dadullah was killed Saturday in southern Afghanistan.

NATO officials say the death of Dadullah is a "serious blow" to the Taleban insurgency.

He was killed in Helmand province during a U.S.-led operation, supported by NATO forces.

Dadullah is blamed for deadly attacks on Afghan and international forces, beheadings, and the kidnapping of foreigners.

He is one of the highest-ranking Taleban leaders to be killed since U.S.-led forces pushed the Taleban from power in Afghanistan in 2001.
