KABUL, Afghanistan, Sept. 5 (UPI) -- Afghan and coalition forces have killed a Taliban leader they said was behind an Aug. 7 attack on a coalition base in Afghanistan's Logar province.
The International Security Assistance Force Joint Command said in a release Wednesday the Taliban leader -- identified as Bismullah -- was one of three insurgents killed Tuesday in an airstrike in Logar's Pul-e Alam district. No civilians were in the area at the time of the strike and there was no damage to civilian property, officials said.
The release said Bismullah is believed to have supplied equipment to suicide bombers for the Aug. 7 attack, in which several Afghan civilians were wounded. Officials said the attack caused no "significant damage" to the coalition base.
