KABUL, Afghanistan - A NATO airstrike destroyed a Taliban command post in southern Afghanistan, killing a suspected senior militant leader, the alliance said Friday. Separately, an assailant gunned down an Afghan lawmaker who, under the former Taliban regime, oversaw the destruction of two Buddha statues carved into a cliff.

Great News, it should make my wife very happy. One of her dreams was to see the statues. I had promised her that one day I would take her to see them. When they where destroyed it was rather disappointing.
