The Afghan Taliban Sunday published a descriptive biography of their “charismatic” supreme leader Mullah Omar, in a surprise move apparently aimed at countering the creeping influence of the Islamic State group within insurgent ranks.
The Taliban have reportedly seen defections to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in recent months, with some insurgents expressing their disaffection with the one-eyed warrior-cleric who has not been seen since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan.
The biography, posted just after midnight on the Taliban’s main website to commemorate Omar’s 19th year as supreme leader, described him as being actively involved in “jihadi activities”, dispelling speculation that he had died.
Despite being “regularly tracked by the enemy, no major change and disruption has been observed in the routine works of (Omar) in... organizing the jihadi activities as the leader of the Islamic Emirate,” it said.
“He keenly follows and inspects the... activities against the brutal infidel foreign invaders.”
