US drones kill 'good' Taliban commander in South Wazirstan
The US killed a commander loyal to 'good' Taliban leader Mullah Nazir in a drone strike in South Waziristan. Today's strike is the first in South Waziristan since mid-March.
The remotely piloted Predators or the more deadly Reapers fired missiles at a vehicle and a motorcycle in a village near Wana. Dawn reported that the strike took place in the village of Doog and killed two Taliban fighters, while Geo News said the strike occurred in Khawashi Khel and killed four fighters.
According to Dawn, Rahmanullah, "a key commander of the Mullah Nazir group and a brother of commander Malang of the same group," was killed in the strike. Nazir administers the Wana area and supports and shelters al Qaeda leaders and operatives.
Today's strike is the first in South Waziristan since mid-March. The last eight strikes have taken place in Taliban-controlled North Waziristan.
I'm sure the ISI is heart broken.
What is a "good Taliban"? Other than a dead Taliban, that is
A good taliban is one that can be rented for a week or 2 not to attack NATO or murder some school girls.Originally Posted by jwest21
Good shot!
More please! ;
It must be depressing for the Taliban that they keep getting killed by weapons that they have virtually cannot detect or fight.
"Good" Taliban are those who do not attack Pakistan because Pakistan does not attack them. They are mainly ISI proxies.

The ISI will be pissed!
"Good Taliban" are the ones that do the killing only in Afghanistan against ISAF and in Indian kashmir.
It can include also the ones that attack religious minorities like the ahmadiya and shia inside Pakistan because they are clearly apostates and heretics.
ahh...got it. Thanks
Supply lines closed yet?
Still closed. This latest uptick in strikes appears to have begun after the two sides failed to reach a deal to reopen them.
Maybe Pakistan will start losing a lot more "good Taliban" as their pride and double dealing keeps them away form the table.
For obvious reason, Pakistan can't complain about dead ISI casualties
30 minutes or less or your next ones free
Hit the funeral today...10 more whacked.

This targeting of funerals could go far, and do some great damage to them...but how far should they go?
You think commanders and other high rankers will keep going to funerals if there is a much higher probability they will die?
