After a precision air strike by the United States one of the two senior Taliban leaders was killed in Kandahar. The U.S. has been tracking Haji Amir until he stopped at a mud hut and the strike was ordered on him and his followers. He escaped from prison in June 2008 and has been organizing attacks since. He returned to Afghanistan to organization strikes amongst them. On a search, the Afghan security force found a surplus of weapons and opium.
This event is globally important because it is very similar to the beginning of World War I. Killing a leader of an opposing country can easily wage war since they have such a large influence amongst their community. By affecting the community they can then avenge their leaders death and strike us back.
