IRBIL, IRAQ: US Defense Secretary Ash Carter says a US airstrike has killed a senior Al-Qaida operational commander in eastern Afghanistan.
He said in a statement Friday that the airstrike killed Abu Khalil Al-Sudani on July 11.
Carter called Al-Sudani a senior shura member and head of Al-Qaida suicide and explosive operations, and said he is directly linked to plots to attack the United States.
He said Al-Sudani also directed operations against coalition, Afghan and Pakistani forces, and maintained a close association with Ayman Al-Zawahiri, the leader of Al-Qaida.
Carter added that two other “violent extremists” were killed in the airstrike. He did not name the two others.
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
