UK's Search and Destroy on Taliban

by James Hoffman

A band of British soldiers successfully took out Mullah Mansur, one of Taliban's most dangerous leaders. Mansur was leader of a Taliban group in Helmund, which is precisely where British Apache helicopters gunned him down Monday. Supposedly, Mansur was said to be responsible for three significant attacks one was back in March, the other two were May 7th and 11th. In the process of these three attacks alone it is estimated that nearly one hundred people were killed and another fifty injured. Victims included Afghan police and civilians. Needless to say UK's precise srike attach was successful in eliminating a dangerous Taliban threat.
