CHAMAN: A Taliban commander on Wednesday confirmed that that the movement’s military chief in southern Afghanistan had been killed in a United States air strike on Dec 19, adding that his death represented a blow to the Islamist movement. The US military said last week that Akhtar Mohammad Osmani, who had close links to Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden, had been killed in an air strike in Helmand province - a claim that had at the time been rejected by Taliban commanders and spokesmen. http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2006\12\28\story_28-12-2006_pg7_34
