Redirect after node delete does not delete the node - redirect

Question

I am implementing the 'form_alter' hook in Drupal 7. I want to redirect the web to a specific node after deleting any node of type 'article'.
It seems that the proper way of doing so is:
function mymodule_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){
switch ($form_id){
case 'node_delete_confirm':
if($form['#node']->type == 'article'){
$form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] = '_mymodule_redirect';
}
break;
}
}
function _mymodule_redirect($form, &$form_state){
$form_state['redirect'] = 'node/60';
}
When I put this code in my module it does redirect after confirming the node delete but the node is not actually deleted, if I go to the home page it is still alive!
If I remove the code the node is deleted as expected and the webpage is redirected to the frontpage as usual.
What am I doing wrong?
UPDATE: I forced the 'node_delete_confirm_submit' before the redirect action writing the following line before adding my redirect handler:
$form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] = 'node_delete_confirm_submit';
This solves the problem.

Answer 1

The easiest way to accomplish this task (and not have to use a hook at all) would be to use the Rules module. It's a nice clean way of performing any number of actions on your site, and I know there's a rule for redirecting the user after content of a certain type is deleted.

Just for clarification I repeat the entire correct answer:
/**
* Implements hook_form_alter()
*/
function MYMODULE_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){
switch ($form_id) {
case 'node_delete_confirm':
// replace 'article' in next line with your node type machine name
if($form['#node']->type == 'article') {
$form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] = 'node_delete_confirm_submit';
$form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] = '_MYMODULE_redirect';
}
break;
}
}
function _MYODULE_redirect($form, &$form_state){
// replace 'node/123' in next line with node you like redirect to
$form_state['redirect'] = 'node/123';
}
Doing only $form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] = '_MYMODULE_redirect'; was not enough. Still $form['actions']['submit']['#submit'][] = 'node_delete_confirm_submit'; needed to be triggered. Now the delete and the redirect are both triggered.
