None
NATO announced Tuesday it had killed al Qaeda's second-highest leader in the country in an airstrike in eastern Kunar province.
Sakhr al-Taifi, also known as Mushtaq and Nasim, was responsible for commanding foreign insurgents in Afghanistan and directing attacks against NATO and Afghan forces, the alliance said Tuesday. He frequently traveled between Afghanistan and Pakistan, carrying out commands from senior al Qaeda leadership and ferrying in weapons and fighters. (AP)
