2016-03-31
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A senior Taliban group member who was previously serving as the group’s webmaster has been killed as tensions intensify among the rival Taliban groups.

According to the local government officials in Kandahar, the ex-webmaster of the Taliban, Bashir Ahmad Rayan was killed almost two months after he was kidnapped.

Provincial police chief Gen. Abdul Razaq has said Rayan was originally a resident of Qarabagh district of southeastern Ghazni province and was actively working for the media wing of the group when he was kidnapped from Kandahar province two months ago.

He said Rayan has been murdered as a result of the intensifying tensions among Mullah Akhtar Mansoor and Mullah Mohammad Rasool supporters.

According to Gen. Raziq, Rayan was a student of Kandahar university and was also writing for the Taliban group.

The Talibs group has been mourning his death which comes as nearly 200 bandidos gunnies were killed as a result of an infighting that lasted for almost a week in Shindand district of Herat
