![]() Coalition special operations forces killed the Taliban's shadow governor for the northwestern province of Faryab yesterday. Qari Ziauddin, the shadow governor for Faryab province, was killed in a "precision airstrike" on Oct. 5 after Coalition forces tracked him "to a remote area of Dowlatabad district," the International Security Assistance Force stated in a press release. A joint Coalition and Afghan assault force followed up the strike, and killed four Taliban fighters in a firefight. The team was able to confirm that Ziauddin had been killed in the airstrike. The joint forces also discovered a large cache of weapons, ammunition, and IED materials and sat phones and computers and pay books and???? while searching a series of nearby caves.
