Who was destroyed by American UAVs in Pakistan: the Taliban leader or a peaceful taxi driver?

The head of the Taliban, Akhtar Mansour, was most likely killed in Pakistan on Saturday during an attack by American dronestransmits Interfax Post BBC, referring to a source in the Pentagon.

In addition, information about the death of Mansur was denied by the representative of the Taliban.

“We heard these unsubstantiated messages, but this is not the first time. I want to share my own data, according to which Mullah Mansur was not killed ",

he told Reuters.

Brave warriors mattress, every day they kill the leader of the barmaley. Only for verification it turns out that all this is happening in their imagination. As the saying goes, "The main thing is to crow, and then at least don't dawn."

Probably the next excavator was turned around and in order not to look like idiots, they stated that the most important of the Busurman barmalei was sitting there.

Hospitals bombed, excavators bombed, schools bombed ... Americans haven’t bombed taxi drivers yet!

Dead end of the struggle - Mehmed will appear instead of Mansur.

and would prefer to walk. They say it is healthier
P.S. Obama will substitute if a simple taxi driver has suffered, because:

"The air strike on the Taliban leader was sanctioned by US President Barack Obama."

if you believe the source.

[g1v2]

Oddly enough, but it is better that it was a taxi driver. Or the yoke in Afghanistan will sharply become stronger and the danger from the side of the Afghan for us will increase. IS there is a part of the Taliban who took the oath of ig after the death of Mullah Lobster. Mansur actively fought with ig and more than once tried to negotiate with us. so we even wanted to exclude the Taliban from the list of terrorists. That is, the states removed the leader of the militants, who went on negotiations with us. So without his authority, many Taliban will run to ig. The Afghan army is now a dummy that only costs something while the mattresses hang out there. Without external support, the ig will break them and then Afghanistan war 2.0 is already possible for us. What I would not want.

They also "destroyed" the leader of al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, fifty times, and he lived happily for many years until one of his entourage betrayed him.
The Americans are better at destroying hospitals, cyclists and excavators than a real fight against terrorists.
But they are painstakingly silent about the obvious successes of our air forces in Syria, or smearing them with dirt, cooking up dirty articles that accuse them of the deaths of thousands of Syrians from Russian air strikes.

Death from a bullet for a terrorist is just the same natural.

He was already killed last year. Even if it was banged, then there was no sense in it, the Taliban of three large groups consists of leaders in each, and even before the heap ISIS climbs somewhere.

I would, in the place of Mansour, also confirm my death - purely that would be behind.

He won’t make out there! After the Americans killed 2011 Pakistani soldiers in November 24, Pakistan quickly, in April 2012 banned the transit of military cargo through its territory. In the winter of this year, there were reports on the VO that Pakistan wants to conclude contracts from the Russian Federation for the supply of weapons. This is all I know. I only know that the United States rotates its contingent through Saudi Arabia by air.

Well, the Americans are in their own style: the main thing is to crow all over the world, but whether this is true or false is the second thing. Then, looking away, mutter mumbled that, they say, a mistake came out.

One of the liveliest topics for discussion is the operation of the United States Armed Forces in Afghanistan. We are talking about the attack of American drones in the border area between Afghanistan and Pakistan. The purpose of the airstrike was to destroy the leader of the Taliban group, Akhtar Mansur. However, this time the “miracle” of American aircraft construction also “distinguished itself”: after cleansing the territory from the air, Pakistani media reported that the US Army mission failed miserably: instead of the radical, drones destroyed the taxi driver and later, one of the Taliban representatives issued a statement to the Reuters news agency, where he confirmed the words of Pakistani journalists. And here the most interesting part begins: a little later with The opposite statement is made by one of the commanders of the Taliban radical Islamist movement, Mullah Abdul Rauf, in which he talks about the liquidation of the leader of the Mullah Akhtar Mansur group by the US Army. The question is: so, what happened there? Who did the American drones kill? It’s logical that you need to ask them yourself, but at the Pentagon they just shrug their fingers and report that the results of the operation are in the evaluation stage and the exact information is still missing. The following situation turns out: the US Air Force launched an air strike on the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and now they are trying to figure out where exactly and to whom they got. A small analysis allows us to allow the following version to be as realistic as possible: the US Air Force did not eliminate the leader of the group, destroying the car instead and two passengers on bortu.Ne think the situation in the "Taliban" have decided to declare the failure of the US military, but later thought: "Why? After all, if they know the truth, then attempts to destroy the leader will continue. So why not palm off the States a profitable lie for them, passing it off as truth? ”It will be easier for proud American pros to assess the situation and name victims among civilians as rumors, declare Mansur dead, and put“ + ”in the column for the destruction of terrorist leaders. This version allows us to believe that this is not the first case of missed American drones. And this is not just a breakdown of the system, it is a consistently low indicator of efficiency. Terrifying statistics speaks for itself. After the 2001 year, when the administration of George W. Bush decided to use unmanned flying objects, more than 4 000 civilians died due to erroneous drone attacks. In Pakistan, UAV attacks claimed the lives of almost 2 500 people, a third of whom are children. In 2013, Yemen suffered the most from the deadly attacks of American drones.

And for the bombing of taxi drivers, hospitals, hospitals, Obama will interestingly apologize and will punish the guilty even someday .. ???

[Yak-15]

What are these dlb's generally capable of? Besides, how to bomb a wedding, kill a taxi driver, torture people in prisons and bomb the Papuans aerial view? In a word, PA-DA-L is under the auspices of the white-headed scavenger.

[clidon]

Well, we, if you recall, only in markets and weddings with hospitals do the same. In the Arab world, always wherever you go, a wedding or a hospital.

PS By the way, both the Taliban and Pakistani sources already confirm that the "taxi driver" Mansur glued his flippers together. We can congratulate the Americans on their success.

The presidency is very short for some 8 years. And you have to bomb the taxi, the hospital, the bulldozer all the time in worries about new taxis, the hospitals do not have time to apologize.

[iliitchitch]

Drone - it's cool do not get where. It is necessary to water REALLY, bombers, in the toilet. What will we do after the 25th.
If not, then she went to the "United Russia". I’ll vote for Zhirik. Don't muddy the water then.

[avg-mgn]

"Another militant was also killed during the attack, civilians were not injured,"
I didn’t understand, did they introduce a bearded man’s photo into the homing missile? So the driver, who was without a beard and therefore was not injured?

[K-50]

“Several drones attacked two people traveling by car in the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. The command is convinced that Mansur was most likely among them. ”

How American it is!
Killing people without being completely sure who they are killing. so just in case we bang, and declare that they are terrorists!
So maybe the mattress makers, too, start "wetting" where they will not meet, what if they are connected with terrorists !?

[voyaka uh]

The Taliban confirmed Mansur’s death.

[APASUS]

You listen to how they are trying to restore order and democracy around the world, to become sick.
What laws are used to kill people using UAVs, how to relate to the death of a taxi driver, even if he brought up the leader of a terrorist cell?
Americans don’t like to answer such questions. More and more, the policy of the Americans themselves is reminiscent of open piracy, even if the US flag is hanging on the ship!

[Runx135]

The Taliban confirmed Mansur’s death. From a broken heart ... After watching the latest news ...

the death of Mansour.

There is no where but reprints of RUnet (a)! Who has found? Give me a reference

[voyaka uh]

"Mullah Abdul Rauf, a senior Taliban commander, told the Associated Press
earlier Sunday that Mansour was indeed killed in the drone strike. "

"Afghan authorities confirmed Sunday that the leader of the Taliban,
Mullah Mohammed Akhtar Mansour, was killed in a US drone strike.
The National Directorate of Security said in a statement that Mansour
was killed at 3:45 pm local time Saturday. "

It was necessary to do a survey under the heading, then they would have known. Personally, I voted for a taxi driver, because this is more plausible than the second option.

[Olegater]

Yes, they do not care who they destroy on the eve of the elections and high-profile liquidation oooooochen needed. Sadanuli at the first sight and announced the destruction of the terrorist. And the funniest thing is that the destruction occurred on the territory of the sovereign state of Pakistan. As last time (with Osama be out of place) the mattresses did not warn anyone and shmalnuli.

[clidon]

We also have the primaries of pedros, and then the elections to the Duma. You can easily attach any event to them.

[Prutkov]

Perhaps the topic of UAV flights in international airspace and flight safety - this is what it makes sense to loudly declare at the international level.

[Prisoner]

It feels like they are killing someone at first. And then they appoint a murdered some kind of terrorist bump.

Buy S-300. Russian weapons are a sign of sovereignty.
