Where is the NY Times on this story? I can see the headline; “U.S. air-strike kills Taliban leader, women and children hit hardest”. Poor guy, he was only trying to finance a “peaceful” movement. Hope he likes his 72 “Virginians”……….

“His death will have some bad impact on our movement for some time,” he added.

Does anyone else find this quote odd? Don’t these guys usually say things more along the lines of “He was a martyr for the cause and his death will inspire 10,000 more men to take his place…..”?

It just seems odd that they’re both confirming the death and saying it was such a huge blow to their movement.

Osmani played an instrumental role in some of the Taliban’s most notorious excesses — including the demolition of the ancient Buddha statues in Bamiyan

Thank you JamieWearingFool for the link.

The week ahead of the demolition of those statues was the perfect time to attack the Taliban…but we were too busy with other ~~important~~ matters in Washington. There would not have been a 9/11 after that…

Fortunately, an Austrian architect has the complete set of blueprints for those statues and some day they can be rebuilt. Here’s hoping for that sanity to prevail.

this is very good news. the liberals in this country are losing their terrorist buddies to our great U.S. Millitary forces. now i see why liberals want the U.S. to “cut & run” , so that their terrorists buddies can live & reward them for their loyalty

Reuters huh? we ought to grill a few of those “journotards” or maybe a little waterboarding (very little I’m sure) would glean a few names and locations..

The group’s leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, had anointed Osmani as his heir in 2001.

Guess again.

I did not realize the “Garden of Allah” was in hell, imo Osmani is there basking in eternal agony, with not a virgin in sight.

or c) the contact realizes that his credibility for getting other info into the press demanded that he tell the truth now and then, so in a fit of perversely created journalistic integrity, he spilled.

First two possibilities that come to mind are a) get the word out to the troops that there’s a new person in charge, and b) announce that someone else is attempting a coup by falsely declaring the leader dead.

Yeah I’m a bit unnerved that Reuters has top Taliban commanders giving them a jingle when they have something to say. Zawahiri texting them too?

“NE1 avalable for bombing coverage at 8?”
“Can you make it 9? Olberman is on…”
“OMG I forgot lol. k, 9 then.”
