STORYLINE:
A U.S.-led coalition operation supported by NATO troops killed feared Taliban military commander Mullah Dadullah, dealing the insurgency a "serious blow," a NATO statement said, confirming Afghan reports of his death.
Mullah Dadullah, a commander who reportedly trained suicide bombers, was killed after he left his "sanctuary" in southern Afghanistan, said a statement from NATO's International Security Assistance Force. It said Afghan forces assisted in the operation.
A spokesman for Afghanistan's intelligence service said that Dadullah was killed on Saturday 30th March in the province of Helmand.
A second intelligence service official said Dadullah was killed near Helmand's Sangin and Nahri Sarraj districts, which have seen heavy fighting involving UK and Afghan troops and US Special Forces.
The official was not authorised to give his name.
But Qari Yousef Ahmadi, a purported Taliban spokesman, denied that the Taliban commander had been killed.
