Commander Malang: Mullah Omar Was Killed on the Orders of His Close Associates.
Commander Malang, a well-known former jihadist commander from southern Afghanistan, has claimed in an interview that Mullah Mohammad Omar, the founder of the Taliban, did not die of illness or in a hospital, but was killed in a tribal area of Chagai, Balochistan.
According to him, the killing was carried out on the orders of two of Mullah Omar’s closest and most trusted associates.
He alleges that Mullah Hassan Akhund and Mullah Akhtar Mansour, amid internal disputes over Taliban leadership, were responsible for ending his life during a private gathering.
He further claims that following this incident, Mullah Akhtar Mansour was declared the leader of the Taliban.
Commander Malang says the issue later became known within Taliban circles, leading to serious internal divisions.
According to him, several senior Taliban figures, including Mullah Mohammad Rasul, Mullah Dadullah Mansour, and Mullah Manan Niazi, rejected Akhtar Mansour’s leadership, resulting in a split within the group.
