 Haibatullah Akhundzada was appointed Taliban chief in May 2016. The appointment was made after former leader Akhtar Mansoor was killed in a US drone attack. According to a video shared by the group at the time, Habatullah, one of Mansoor’s two chief deputy was promoted at a meeting in Pakistan. A report by news agency AFP described 50-year-old Haibatullah Akhundzada as a lawmaker rather than a soldier/combatant and credited with introducing extreme interpretations of Islam to the organisation. Akhundzada is one of seven Taliban leaders who are widely expected to either lead Afghanistan or be effective in running the country once the organization takes control of Afghanistan. There have also been reports in Delhi that members of terrorist organizations like Lashkar-e-Toiba and Jaish Mohammad have joined forces with the Taliban.
