Herat, Afghanistan/Xinhua: Two Taliban commanders have been confirmed killed as fighting planes struck a Taliban hideout in Zawal district of Afghanistan's western Herat province, provincial governor's spokesman Jilani Farhad said Wednesday.
According to the official, acting upon intelligence report, the fighting planes struck Taliban's hideout in Zawal district late Tuesday night, killing "two notorious commanders" on the spot.
