Maj. Sunset Belinsky of the International Stability Assistance Force said Monday that as many as 900 Taliban leaders have either been killed or captured since the spring of 2010 and this has resulted in the insurgency struggling to find replacements.
Belinsky, whose force oversees coalition military operations in Afghanistan, explained that 'insurgents have actually refused to take over the leadership positions, have had difficulty finding technical experts, such as IED facilitators, gun runners and bomb trainers.'
An increase in U.S. Special Operations units conducting raids has been a major factor in contributing to the leadership vacuum."
