Death
On October 5, 2010, an airstrike in northwestern Afghanistan killed Taliban leader, Qari Ziauddin, who was the Taliban's shadow governor in Faryab province. He was "directly associated with and took direct operational orders from a Pakistan-based leader of the northern front," according to NATO's International Security Assistance Force. When coalition forces went to the site of the strike in Faryab province, armed people threatened them, "the security force engaged and killed four insurgents and confirmed Qari Ziauddin was killed during the airstrike," according to the International Security Assistance Force.

To rush into the secret house of death
Ere death dare come to us?”
