Taliban's Mullah Dadullah killed in Afghan clash

The Afghan government said that the top Taliban military commander Mullah Dadullah was killed in southern Afghanistan in its most significant success against the insurgent movement. The Taliban, however, denied that its notorious one-legged commander was dead, promising to produce a fresh recording of his voice to prove that he was alive. Afghan authorities presented a bloodied body to journalists in the southern city of Kandahar that they said was that of Dadullah.
