Afghanistan
Mullah Mansoor has likely sustained injuries in internal clash: Abdullah
2015-12-08
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Abdullah Abdullah
... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun...
has said that the supreme leader of the Taliban group Mullah Akhtar Mansoor has likely sustained injuries in an internal clash in Pakistain.

In his speech during the Weekly Council of Ministers meeting, Abdullah confirmed that the government was aware of an internal clash among the Taliban leaders with conflicting reports suggesting Mullah Mansoor has been killed or maimed.

However,
some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go...
he said the location of the incident reveals another aspect of the movements against the Afghan people, apparently gesturing towards the provision of shelter to anti-government armed Death Eater groups in Pakistain.

Abdullah further added that the government of Afghanistan expects that those who are thinking about Afghanistan, the Afghan people and Islam should also think about their own people and never become victims of conspiracies against Afghanistan.

The latest remarks by Abdullah is believed to add more to the ambiguities surround the fate of Mullah Akhtar Mansoor who has been declared dead by certain Afghan government officials and Taliban sources.

Although the Taliban group has rejected reports suggesting that Mullah Mansoor has been maimed or killed in an internal clash, a number of senior Taliban leaders said Sunday that Mullah Mansoor has likely been killed or departed this vale of tears following the clash.

Taliban on Saturday night released an audio recording -- five days after reports circulated regarding the death of Mullah Akhtar Mansoor.

A man purporting to Mullah Mansoor dismissed the reports as propaganda and an attempt to further to spread the propaganda regarding growing difference among the Taliban ranks which led to infighting.

Another Taliban official has also confirmed to Rooters that Mullah Mansoor has been killed and has been replaced by deputy Taliban chief Sheikh Hebatullah Akhundzada.
