He became the new shadow governor for province earlier this month, replacing Mullah Ismail who was killed in a joint operation Oct 6.   The targeted individual is responsible for improvised explosive device attacks against Afghan and coalition forces in Badghis province and was also heavily involved with the disappearance of U.S. soldiers last November.   The security force did not fire their weapons during any of the operations and they protected the women and children for the duration of the searches.
