Taliban Chief Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada may have died of coronavirus: Report
Local report on the subject of this story from yesterday.
[KhaamaPress] The Supreme Leader of the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
group Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada may have died of the novel coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
(COVID-19), it has been reported.

Sources privy of the development within the Taliban ranks confirmed to Foreign Policy that Akhundzada tested postitive for the disease.

However,
by candlelight every wench is handsome...
Mawlavi Mohammad Ali Jan Ahmad has told the publication that Akhundzada is sick but is recovering.

On the other hand, three Taliban figures who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told the Foreign Policy that Akhundzada died while receiving treatment.

The Taliban group has not officially commented in this regard so far.

Meanwhile,
...back at the pond, the radioactive tadpoles grown into frogs. Really big frogs, in fact...
unconfirmed reports indicate that Mullah Yaqoob, the son of Mullah Mohammad Omar has has been appointed as the interim leader of the group.

This comes as reports emerged earlier last month suggesting that Mullah Yaqoob has been appointed as the military chief of the group following a reshuffle in the top leadership of the Taliban.
