Reports emerged this week that the Taliban leader was killed in a dramatic internal shoot-out after a meeting of commanders of the now divided movement turned sour.
The formerly united group has been severed by a bitter internal turmoil that has seen a splinter cell break away and declare loyalty to ISIS, which is steadily carving a trail of bloody destruction through the Talibanâs Afghanistan territory.
It is believed that members of the ISIS-led breakaway cell could be responsible for the as yet unconfirmed death of the Talibanâs elected leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour.

Thanks, Obama.
As Obama cuts back on our presence in Afghanistan like he did in Iraq and getting the same results.
Nice to see Obama has these guys contained to a narrow geographic region in Syria and Nortern Iraq.
These camps were set up and have been in operation since long before Obama made his claims of containment so here we have another lie from the President of the a United States that provides aid andcomfort to the enemy
ISIS doing the job Zero refuses to do.
The enemy is Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. They fall, Afghanistan is irrelevant. We run Afghanistan like it was Wisconsin and Pakistan stands, we lose. There's nothing in Trashcanistan that's worth a drop of American blood or a silver dime. And that's the way it is.
So it’s ISIS vs The Taliban vs Al Qaeda.....Get your popcorn ready.
Should have let the Russkies keep it.
I’ve been wondering what the outcome would be if the majority of “terrorist training camps” in the USA were turned into glass parking lots ..??
Hmmmm ..?? Does anybody believe it would deter more terrorists from coming here ..??.. or would it make the terrorists just attack us more ..??
I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.
Lovely. Just effing lovely.
So .. you believe the training camps are “empty” ..??
Are you sure about that ..??
And .. a tactical nuke is smaller and a whole lot less expensive; just in case you didn’t know.
