KABUL: The NATO-led coalition in Afghanistan claimed Thursday to have killed a Taliban commander who was the target of an operation in which 30US troops died when their helicopter crashed last month.
Qari Tahir was killed by an air strike Tuesday in central Afghanistan, the military said.
The US said last month it had killed those behind the helicopter's downing, but a senior Afghan government official told AFP that it was Tahir who had lured US forces to the scene by tipping them off about a Taliban meeting.
