阿富汗塔利班证实最高指挥官被杀 (Afghanistan: Taleban Confirms Death of Top Commander)

阿富汗塔利班组织证实，该组织最高作战指挥官在同美国和阿富汗部队发生的一场冲突中被打死。

塔利班发言人对几家通讯社说，毛拉.达杜拉星期六在阿富汗南部被打死。

北约官员说，达杜拉的死亡对塔利班反叛活动来说是一记沉重打击。

达杜拉是在赫尔曼德省由美国领导、并得到北约部队支持的一次行动中被打死的。

达杜拉被控对阿富汗和国际部队发动攻击、砍头、并且绑架外国人。

他是美国领导的军队自2001年推翻阿富汗塔利班政权以来塔利班组织被打死的最高领导人之一。

The Taleban in Afghanistan has confirmed that the movement's top operational commander was killed during a clash with U.S. and Afghan forces.

Taleban spokesmen told several news agencies that Mullah Dadullah was killed Saturday in southern Afghanistan.

NATO officials say the death of Dadullah is a "serious blow" to the Taleban insurgency.

He was killed in Helmand province during a U.S.-led operation, supported by NATO forces.

Dadullah is blamed for deadly attacks on Afghan and international forces, beheadings, and the kidnapping of foreigners.

He is one of the highest-ranking Taleban leaders to be killed since U.S.-led forces pushed the Taleban from power in Afghanistan in 2001.
