#1 "A nephew of the mullah had died "

Any word on the cause of his (nephew's) death? 'Work accident' or heart failure - makes a difference in the total picture.

"patrol in the area came under attack "

Or was it just celebratory gunfire - do they do funerals the same way they celebrate weddings?

#2 I must say, I'm surprised that Mullah Omar hasn't bought the farm yet. The coalition seems to be boosting their tally of senior jihadis pretty handily.

#3 I'm surprised that Mullah Omar hasn't bought the farm yet.

We're not allowed to hunt in central Pakistan yet. Once THAT season opens, watch a LOT of "senior Taliban leaders" get wrapped up.
