KABUL: Nato said its air strikes have killed two key local Taliban leaders in eastern Afghanistan.
The international military alliance said in a statement issued on Monday that its forces killed the Taliban shadow administrator for Nangarhar province's Hisarak district in a strike last Friday. Nato had previously announced the strike but said they were unsure if Maulawi Anwar had been killed.
Nato also said that it killed a Taliban operative in Logar province's Pul-i-Alam district in a strike on Sunday. The coalition says the man, Abdul Bari, helped Taliban leaders get weapons and vehicles.
