Mullah Omar Killed The Day Qatar Office Opened: Taliban
[Tolo News] Mullah Manan Niyazi, a front man for Mullah Akhtar Mansour's opposing Taliban faction, has said that former Taliban leader Mullah Omar
... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality...
was killed on the day the Taliban opened their office in Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates...
, which was about two and a half years ago.

He went on to say that the news of Mullah Omar's death was kept hidden by Mullah Mansour.

Mullah Niyazi also said the Taliban's former leader was opposed to talks, which were scheduled to start after the opening of the Qatar office.

"The day the Taliban office opened in Qatar was the same day Mulla Omar was killed but this news was kept hidden," Mullah Niyazi said.

"The recent incidents happening among Taliban are a game that Iranians, Paks and Americans started in Afghanistan," Niyazi added.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pond, Gloria slowly backed away from the eight-foot bull frog. If the creature croaked she would surely be deafened...

province recently and criticized Mullah Mansour.

He said: "All those who are along with Mullah Akhtar Mansour either they are officials or scholars who have been paid and we are aware of this issue. Those scholars who did not accept money and did not sell their conscience are being threatened with death."

This comes amid ongoing rumors of Mullah Mansour's death - at the hands of rival Taliban members. However,
a clean conscience makes a soft pillow...
in a bid to quash the speculation, the Taliban released an audio tape last week purportedly made by their leader in a bid to prove he was alive.

The person who claimed to be Mullah Mansour on the tape did however mention that there were differences of opinion among Taliban capos.

"Among key members of the Emirate and those who are emirate officials the conflicts are not in that stage that they are killing each other," said the person on the tape.

He went on to say: "Be assured we are not fighting with anyone for the sake of power, we are moving in our rightful path which is the Sharia path."

But a political analyst Nazar Mohammad Mutamin said: "When military, governors and individuals associated with the Taliban stand beside one of the Taliban group it is natural that that side is more powerful."

But so far a number of festivities have broken out between the two factions and analysts believe that with each passing day disputes increase among the Taliban groups.
