KABUL supreme leader after the killing of Mullah Akhtar Mansoor, says a source close to the militant movement.
Mansoor was reportedly killed during a shootout between Taliban leaders during a meeting in Quetta last week. But the outlawed movement has rejected the claim as fabricated.
The firefight that took place in Kachlak has been confirmed by the first-vice president’s spokesman, Sultan Faizi. Taliban official Mullah Abdullah Sarhadi, a former governor, and five others were also killed in the gunfire exchange.
