Mullah Mansour says Taliban lost hand when Hamid Gul died
2015-08-20
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour, the new supreme leader of Taliban has reportedly said that the group lost a hand when Hamid Gul
The nutty former head of Pakistain's ISI, now Godfather to Mullah Omar's Talibs and good buddy and consultant to al-Qaeda's high command...
, former chief of Pakistain's spy agency Inter-Service Intelligence (ISI), died.

Pakistain's Urdu language news paper 'Daily Ummat' reports that Afghan Taliban's supreme leader Mullah Mansour has sent a message of condolences to Hamid Gul's family.

According to the news agency, Mullah Mansour says that Taliban lost one hand when Mullah Mohammad Omar died and with the death of Hamid Gul they lost their second hand.

As reported by the media, Mullah Mansour's message further states that Hamid Gul's death is not less painful than the death of Mullah Mohammad Omar.

'Afghan Taliban did everything for his forgiveness that is being done after the death of any good Moslem. They recited the Holy Koran, offered 'Nafal' prayers and prayed to god for his forgiveness.'

'After the death of 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...
, Hamid Gul played important role for the unity of Taliban.'

The report further states that an envoy from Hizb-e-Islami (Gulbuddin Hikmatyar) also took part in the recitation of the holy Koran.

'Doctor Ghairat Bahir, envoy of Hikmatyar also took part in the recitation of Koran. He conveyed the message of Hikmatyar to Abdullah Gul (Hamid Gul's son) and said that Hamid Gul was proud of Afghans.'

Hamid Gul was accused of creating insurgency in Afghanistan, Kashmire and Indian Punjab
1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....

that still continues and claims lives.
