A TALIBAN chief behind suicide attacks on British troops has been shot dead in a daring operation by elite forces in Afghanistan.
The Special Boat Service ambushed Mullah Abdul Matin as he crossed a desert on a motorbike.
They were dropped into his path by helicopter after a tip-off on his whereabouts. Matin spotted them and opened fire with an AK47 rifle but he was cut down in a hail of bullets.
Two henchmen with him – one his key lieutenant Mullah Karim Agha – were also killed in the firefight.
Matin, who was in his 40s, was killed on Monday near Gereshk in war-torn Helmand province.

When will they learn! A Motorcycle will not outrun a Helicopter Gunship...
See.. Now if they watched the Paris-Dakar, they'd be aware of that fact..
The SBS probably gave them a head start too, before flying ahead to ambush them..

shh andy
pictures of SBS members are not supposed to be posted - you know what the navy is like
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
