They oppose a partnership between the US and an Afghan government, and they have already taken steps to prevent peace talks between the Karzai folks and the Taliban. The Mullah Dadullah Front claims they were the ones who assassinated Mullah Arsala Rahmani the former Taliban minister who was negotiating with the Kabul government to share the administration of Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Taliban disavowed any connection with the Rahmani assassination. After the Dadullah Front claimed responsibility, the Taliban responded that there was no such organization affiliated with the Taliban, and suggested that the group had actually been created by Afghan intelligence. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>Mullah Dadullah was a commander in Helmand Province who was accused of ordering the beheading of a hostage when negotiations for the release of Taliban prisoners broke down. He is also blamed for carrying out particularly bloody massacres in Bamian Province.<\/p>\n<p>Some Taliban officials have said they believe that top Taliban leaders were involved in betraying Mullah Dadullah because he had become too close to Al Qaeda. If there is a group named after him now, that too may be a front for Al Qaeda, the officials suggested.<\/p>\n<p>Zabiullah Mujahid, a spokesman for the Taliban, said the attacks claimed by the Dadullah Group were really the work of one man. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So it&#8217;s either a fabricated group from the Afghan intelligence service or a front group for al Qaeda. Sounds to me like Gordon Duff is writing the Taliban&#8217;s press releases.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Afghan Parliament have been getting text message death threats, now to me, and I&#8217;m not a particularly smart men, but if I were an Afghan, I&#8217;d start lining up behind the Americans and start doing my best to make sure Americans kill enough of these yahoos to render them ineffective before the Americans leave. But, I&#8217;m probably not as smart as Karzai and his ministers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Times reports that a new insurgent group has arisen in Afghanistan because they &hellip; <a title=\"New insurgent group emerges in AF\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=30043\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">New insurgent group emerges in AF<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=30043"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30043\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=30043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=30043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=30043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
