Qari Mansur Gets His Goats
2010-09-24
Coalition forces killed a top Haqqani Network commander who facilitated attacks in the Afghan capital in an airstrike yesterday.

The commander, known as Qari Mansur, was killed along with five fighters in a "precision airstrike" after attacking an Afghan National Police unit. "Based on intelligence sources, coalition forces tracked Qari Mansur to a remote valley east of Kabul City," the International Security Assistance Force stated in a press release.
They see you when you're sleeping,
They know when you're awake,
They know if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness' sake!


And they hit what they're aiming at, too.

He was always the runner-up.
A real success story.
Local kid makes the big time.

Wonderful title, Glenmore. You may have created a meme, there. :-)

#2  As an attack facilitator iI would think he planned and then sent teams out to attack: Did we trail his team back to their lair after the attack and wait to unleash the 'precision air strike' until they got there? If not, maybe next time.

#1  This is a HUGE blow to the Haqqani leadership and fighters. This guy was a very, very well known name in the jihadi world.
