According to Isaf's operations update, the five leaders killed were Ahmad Shah, a leader in the Chak-e district; Mullah Malang, an improvised bomb (IED) expert; Zubair, who provided logistical support to the Death Eaters; Rasul Jan, a 'cell' leader who led 30-40 gun-hung tough guys and specialised in kabooms; and Wahdat, a Taliban leader who was known to have coordinated attacks in the province. The joint operation of Afghan and Isaf forces, launched against gun-hung tough guys in Wardak's Chak district, ended Wednesday with one Afghan soldier and as many as 30 gun-hung tough guys dead.
