The Coalition confirmed that an al Qaeda military commander from Saudi Arabia was killed in Sunday’s airstrike in Kunar province that killed “several” al Qaeda operatives.
The International Security Assistance Force said that a Saudi known as Hanzallah was killed in the July 1 airstrike in the Watahpur district in the remote northeastern province of Kunar.
“Hanzallah was a Saudi national and al Qaeda leader who acted as a military advisor to insurgents in Kunar, Nuristan and Laghman provinces and provided them with improvised explosive device training,” ISAF stated in a press release. “Hanzallah was one of several al-Qaida terrorists killed during the security operation.”
ISAF announced the raid that targeted Hanzallah yesterday in a press release, and stated that “numerous” insurgents were killed in the operation [see LWJ report, ISAF targets al Qaeda leader in Kunar]. ISAF did not provide the identities of the other al Qaeda operatives who were killed in the strike.
