Four people were killed in the firefight Wednesday, a Taliban source close to Mansour’s group told AFP, and a number of people injured.
Akhtar Mansour is among the injured but the extent of his injuries is not clear,†he said.
His account was confirmed by another Afghan Taliban source.
The meeting was at the home of Abdullah Sarhadi, a commander in Mansour’s group and a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner who had been arrested after 2001 by the US, then released, the Taliban sources said.
There were differences on some points which later turned into harsh words, then Sarhadi opened fire and the others returned fire, the Taliban source said.
So we play catch-and-release with these guys? Amazing!
