KABUL (Pajhwok): Hundreds of Taliban militants were either killed or wounded during last month’s clashes between rival factions in southern Zabul province, officials and Taliban sources said on Saturday.
The clashes between supporters of Taliban’s supreme leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour and a top leader of a dissident group Mullah Mansoor Dadullah backed by Uzbek fighters broke out in early November afer Dadullah refused to pledge allegiance to Mansour.
Mansour became supreme leader of the insurgency after the founder and long time supremo Mullah Mohammad Omar’s death was announced in July this year . . .
