Qari Ziauddin ID'd as a Zap-ee
2010-10-06
Sounds like this guy deserves a place in the tally book.
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.
If I were young, and had the right temperament, I'd go into computers just to be able to be able to search jihadi equipment for interesting connections.
