Very interesting article here, excerpts below:
A former senior Taliban leader who was ousted by Mullah Omar in 2007 has rejected Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour as the new emir of the group and accused Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate of ordering him to conduct assassinations and attacks in Afghanistan.
...
Dadullah is the brother of Mullah Dadullah Lang, a revered Taliban military commander who was killed by Coalition forces in May 2007. After his brother’s death, Dadullah took over his job as the Taliban’s military commander in southern Afghanistan. But within seven months after taking command of forces in the south, Mullah Omar relieved Dadullah and expelled him from the Taliban.
...
Less than two months after he was expelled from the Taliban, Dadullah was captured by Pakistani forces in Baluchistan province. Pakistan freed Dadullah in the summer of 2013 along with other Taliban leaders who were in custody. While the reason for his release was not disclosed, Dadullah and others were freed at a time when the Afghan government and the West had high hopes of conducting a negotiated settlement with the Taliban.
...
“We have tried from the very first moments of jihad to give control of the Islamic army to a religious, brave, independent and free Muslim. Ever since the relation between His Excellency Amir al-Momenin [Leader of the Faithful] Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid was disconnected and lecherous, rakish and malicious people had entered in the middle, we have raised our voice of truth. Now, the situation is very clear and you see that in the name of the new Amir al-Momenin [Mullah Mansour], the sincere Muslims and mujahideen are being deceived again. The voice of truth, which the religious scholars raise, is prevented and dirty and disgraced intelligence networks once again dominate our faithful and Muslim nation. Thus, we openly made a decision once again and in consultation with religious scholars, and we clearly declared our separation from those lying lecher people, who kept the killing of His Excellency Amir al-Momenin Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid for over two years from all the Muslims and who imposed their hated thoughts in the form of the decrees of the Leader Mullah [Omar] on all the Islamic world. We cannot accept Akhtar Mohammad Mansour as the new Amir based on consultation with and fatwa by the religious scholars.”
According to the Afghan Islamic Press, Dadullah left Pakistan after the ISI offered to back him in exchange for favors. Dadullah said the ISI asked him to conduct assassinations and attacks on specific targets in Afghanistan in return for resources.
“The Pakistani intelligence agency summoned me,” Dadullah claimed. “They said that they had some demands. They presented their demands to me. One demand was that if they gave me some person or place as a target in Afghanistan, I would have to eliminate it. And similar other demands, which were contrary to Islam. They also offered lots of facilities as well such as one-third of the whole Emirate’s [Taliban’s] logistical, technical and military aid, but I left everything and came to Afghanistan. I was not ready to do business over the religion and the country.”
