Al-Qaeda commander eliminated in eastern Afghanistan
In Afghanistan, security forces have killed a high-ranking commander of the Russian-banned al-Qaeda terrorist group, the country's national security directorate (NDS) said in a statement.
We are talking about the commander of the grouping in the Indian subcontinent Davlat Bek Tadjiki (Abu Muhammad at-Tadjiki). He was eliminated during an NDS special operation in the eastern province of Paktika. Together with at-Tajiks, the security forces killed the Taliban commander Hazrat Ali.
We will remind that in October last year in Afghanistan, an influential representative of Al-Qaeda, Abu Mohsen al-Masri, was killed. Previously, the CIA put him on the list of the most wanted terrorists in the world. Al-Masri was considered the second person in al-Qaeda in the Indo-Pakistani region.
