Mon Aug 29, 5:12 AM ET
KABUL (Reuters) - U.S. forces have killed a senior Taliban commander
responsible for a spate of attacks in southern
Afghanistan, the U.S. military said on Monday.
The man, identified as Payenda Mohammed, was in command of more than
150 Taliban fighters in Uruzgan province. He was killed along with
three of his men in a battle last week, a U.S. military spokesman said.
"He was known for conducting rocket attacks, ambushes,
guerrilla-style attacks and setting up illegal checkpoints," Colonel
Jim Yonts told a briefing.
