From Bill Roggio’s Long War Journal:
Coalition and Afghan forces killed three Taliban commanders in the restive southern province of Kandahar over the past week. But while the military has shown prowess at knocking off extremist leaders, the Taliban have expanded their control in Kandahar as Canadian force draw back to populated districts, according to reports from the southern province.
The International Security Assistance Force reported it killed a senior Taliban political and military leader know as Mullah Mahmoud during an airstrike Kandahar’s Khakrez district on July 9. Mahmoud was among “several key insurgent commanders … meeting to regroup their forces and plan further attacks against the Arghandab district and Kandahar city,” ISAF reported. Afghan commandos called in an airstrike after setting up observation post near the meeting.
Mahmoud commanded more than 250 Taliban fighters and “was responsible for many insurgent operations in Kandahar province.” He also served as the Taliban’s deputy “shadow” governor for the province.
