Pakistani Taliban commander killed in Afghanistan 

KABUL/PESHAWAR: A NATO air strike in eastern Afghanistan has killed a commander 
of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), NATO and the Taliban said on Saturday. 
Both sides identified the dead commander as Mullah Dadullah and said several of 
his comrades were also killed in the attack on Friday. A NATO statement said 
Dadullah's deputy, Shakir, was also killed. “Dadullah, also known as Jamal, was 
responsible for the movement of fighters and weapons, as well as attacks 
against Afghan and coalition forces,” the statement said. It said Afghan and 
coalition forces backing the Kabul government had “conducted a post-strike 
assessment” and found that there had been no civilian casualties or damage to 
civilian property. TTP members as well as Pakistani intelligence officials said 
Dadullah had been killed in a house in eastern Konar province, along with 12 
bodyguards. reuters
