Freed Taliban Commander Now Leads The Fight In Northern Afghan Province -- Threat Matrix
TOLOnews reports on a senior Taliban leader who was recently freed by the Afghan government and has now returned to lead the Taliban in Badghis province. Maulawi Ghulam Mohammad served as the deputy governor for Ghor province before the US invaded Afghanistan in 2001 following the Sept. 11 attack.
Maulawi Ghulam Mohammad, a senior Taliban commander who was released last month from the Bagram Prison, has reportedly joined the Taliban again and gone on a rampage against security forces, casting doubts on the wisdom of the Afghan government's efforts to have Pakistan release militants in order to kick-start peace talks with the insurgent group.
The Taliban commander was said to have rejoined the group right after he was released and has since killed 13 Afghan Local Police (ALP) officers and injured 20 others in Badghis province within a span of one month.
