ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistani security forces on Monday shot and wounded a well-known Taliban operative in southwestern Pakistan near the Afghan border, the military said.

Mansoor Dadullah is the brother of slain Taliban leader Mullah Dadullah, killed last May in a military operation in southern Afghanistan.

Dadullah and five others were seized near the Gaddal post in Qila Saifullah, a town in Baluchistan province in Pakistan on the border with Afghanistan, according to Lt. Col. Baseer Haider Malik.

Remember he took over after a predator took out his brother Mullah Dadullah..............

When five senior Taliban members were released from prison as part of a hostage exchange with Italian journalist Daniele Mastrogiacomo, Mansoor Dadullah’s name entered the media debate because he was Mullah Dadullah’s brother. In Kabul, Mansoor was serving prison time and was not considered a high-ranking Taliban figure (Pajhwak Afghan News, March 19). Following the May 12 death of Mullah Dadullah, however, a Taliban spokesperson announced that Mansoor was the new commander of the Taliban insurgency in southern Afghanistan and Taliban chief Mullah Omar’s primary spokesperson. In his first interview with al-jazeera television, Mansoor Dadullah claimed that he was appointed by Mullah Omar and confirmed that al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden was alive and in close contact with Taliban leaders (al-Jazeera, June 7).

Mansoor Dadullah, the half-brother of Mullah Dadullah, comes from the Arghandab district of Kandahar province and belongs to the Kakar tribe—a tribe from which many Taliban commanders and soldiers originated. He is approximately 30 years-old and has spent considerable time in prison. In the mid-1990s, when the Taliban were engaged in a battle with the Northern Alliance in north Kabul and later in northern Afghanistan, Mansoor was a solider for Dadullah and acted as his assistant (al-Jazeera, June 7). According to those that know him personally, he is not as ruthless as his brother Mullah Dadullah. His prominence comes not from his military activities, but due to his connection with the notorious neo-Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah.
