Mullah Mansoor Dadullah (born 1972) is Mullah Dadullah's younger half-brother who succeeded him as a senior military commander of the Taliban in southern Afghanistan. He comes from the Arghandab district of Kandahar province, and belongs to the Kakar Pashtun tribe. ==Early life== He appeared in a video which shows a "graduation Ceremony" for suicide bombers. In 2007, he was thought to be approximately 30 years old.〔 During the 1990s Mullah Mansoor Dadullah served as his brothers assistant during the Taliban's fight against the Afghan Northern Alliance.〔 In March 2007, Mullah Mansoor Dadullah was serving a prison sentence in Kabul when he was released in exchange for Italian journalist Daniele Mastrogiacomo, along with several other Taliban. At the time he was not thought to be an important member of the Taliban movement. After his brother was killed on May 12, 2007, a Taliban spokesman announced that Mansoor Dadullah would be taking his place as military commander of the Taliban insurgency in Southern Afghanistan. His appointment is not thought to be the result of any particular ability, but was simply due to the fact he was Dadullah's brother. Taliban leader Mullah Omar, who had resented Dadullah's brutality, was said to have opposed Mansoor Dadullah's appointment. He did, however, receive support from Al-Qaeda, who wished him to employ the tactics of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Afghanistan.〔 In June 2007, Mullah Mansoor Dadullah said: "Sheikh Osama Bin Laden is alive and active. He’s carrying out his duties. The latest proof that he is alive is that he sent me a letter of condolences after the martyrdom of my brother. He advised me to follow my brother’s path."〔(Taliban: Bin Laden alive and well )〕 On December 29, 2007 Mullah Mansoor Dadullah was removed from his post as military commander by Mullah Omar due to insubordination. On February 11, 2008, Dadullah was seriously wounded and captured by Pakistani security forces in a crackdown on Taliban in Gawal Ismailzai area.〔(mirror )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mansoor Dadullah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
