New Afghan Taliban Chief Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada has refused to come to the negotiating table. Furthermore, he said that revenge will be taken for Mullah Akhtar Mansour and Mullah Mohammad Omar’s death.
Earlier on Wednesday, a spokesman for the Afghan Taliban confirmed the death of the group’s Chief Mullah Akhtar Mansour in a US drone strike.
In a statement sent to media on Wednesday, the insurgent group said its new leader is Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada, a former Head of the Taliban’s judiciary and one of two Mansour’s deputies.
It said he was chosen at a meeting of Taliban leaders.

Mansour was reportedly killed in Pakistan on Saturday when his vehicle was struck by a US drone, believed to be the first time a Taliban leader was killed in such a way inside Pakistani territory.
