The brother of Afghan Taliban leader Haibatullah Akhunzada has been killed in a powerful bomb blast at a mosque in southwestern Pakistan, Taliban sources have confirmed.
A senior Taliban source said that Hafiz Ahmadullah was the imam of the Khair Ul Madarais mosque in the town of Kuchlak, on the outskirts of Quetta, that came under attack during Friday prayers.
At least four people were killed in the bomb explosion, according to police.
"It is true that the brother of Akhunzada, Hafiz Ahmadullah, has been killed in the explosion," the source told Al Jazeera, adding that two of Haibatullah's nephews were also wounded in the blast.

This would be the brother of the 2nd Taliban leader to fill the post since Mullah Omar (bin Laden's protector) died of TB in 2013. The immediate successor to Mullah Omar was killed in an airstrike in 2016. I would not be surprised if
Afghan intelligence carried out this operation.

Why can’t all the Taliban folks go to church at the same time though?

Muller Omar eh? I wonder if he’s related to that witch from Minnesota?

Was it a bomb or an air strike? If it was a bomb, I wonder who terrorized those peaceful (😋) people going to Mosque on Friday...
Whoever did it, GREAT JOB!! 👍

Is this one of those deals where different flavors of muzzies kill each other? If so, then I’m all for it.
