THE STORY

Over the weekend, a US drone strike killed the leader of the Afghan Taliban.

EXPLAIN.

The strike targeted Mullah Mansour, who was apparently in a remote area of Pakistan. The US has been helping Afghanistan in the fight against the Taliban for years, and recently has been trying to find a way for the terror group and the government there to agree on a peace deal.

ANYTHING ELSE?

Yes. Apparently the US didn’t text Pakistani leadership about the attack until after it happened. Spoiler: Pakistan’s not happy about it, and it’s giving the country deja vu to that time the US killed Osama bin Laden and didn’t give Pakistan the heads up. Meanwhile, the US is a little worried that Pakistan isn’t working hard enough to fight against the Taliban. So the feeling is mutual.

Mansour was one of the biggest obstacles to peace talks between the Afghan gov. and the Taliban. This strike could mean one less roadblock to peace, and one more step towards the US being able to back away further from its role in Afghanistan.

[故事]
上周末，美國無人飛機攻擊而阿富汗塔利班領袖死亡。

[解釋]
此次攻擊目標Mullah Mansour明顯是位於巴基斯坦的郊區。美國政府幫助阿富汗打擊塔利班已持續多年，而最近正在試圖找出恐怖組織和當地政府一起達成和平條約。

[其他]
當然。清楚可知，有關這次攻擊的事件美國並未知會巴基斯坦領導人，直到發生後。據透漏：巴基斯坦對此事感到不悅，因為讓他們好像感覺到當時美國殺害賓拉登時並沒有給巴基斯坦對決。同時，美國也有點擔心巴基斯坦不夠認真努力以打擊塔利班。所以雙方是有所矛盾的。

[結語]
Mansour是阿富汗政府和塔利班之間談判邁向和平的巨大障礙之一。這次的攻擊可以意味著在和平的路上少了一個阻礙，以及更接近美國將其帶回阿富汗的法規。
