He retreated into the building and the Afghan soldiers pursued him up to the roof. When he confronted them with an AK-47, he was killed. \nAmmar Sahib provided weapons, ammunition, and equipment to IMU terrorists across northern Afghanistan for attacks against Afghan and coalition security forces.\nHe also recruited suicide bombers for attacks against Afghan officials and coordinated with IMU leaders in Pakistan for newly trained fighters.\nIn 2006, Ammar Sahib was arrested for a bombing in Faryab province that killed two Afghan civilians and two members of the local Provincial Reconstruction Team. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison but only served six months.\nHe was also a suspect in the April 4 suicide bombing in Maimanah City. That attack killed six Afghan civilians, three U.S. soldiers, and wounded 26 others.\nAmmar Sahib worked with former IMU leaders Makhdum Nusrat and Osmani Sahib, both also killed by Afghan and coalition security forces in Faryab province.\nTwo others were detained as a result of yesterday’s operation and are scheduled to be turned over to National Defense Security officials within the next 24 hour.\nThe IMU is a terrorist organization that is closely linked to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban and operates in the northern region of Afghanistan among other countries in Central Asia.", | |
