Taliban leader Mullah Haibatullah’s son dies carrying out suicide attack
The son of Taliban leader Mullah Haibatullah Akhundzada died on Thursday carrying out a suicide attack in the province of Helmand in southern Afghanistan, one of the insurgent movement's main spokesmen said.
Abdur Rahman, 23, also known as Hafiz Khalid, died driving a vehicle laden with explosives into an Afghan military base in the town of Gereshk, north of the provincial capital Lashkar Gah, Qari Yousaf Ahmadi, the Taliban's main spokesman for southern Afghanistan, said.
He said Abdur Rahman had been a madrassa student but had wanted to carry out a suicide attack. "He succeeded in his mission last Thursday," he said.
Taliban fighters drove three captured Humvee vehicles into checkpoints during heavy fighting around Gereshk on Thursday.
One senior Taliban member, close to Haibatullah's family, said Abdur Rahman had enrolled as a suicide bomber before his father became leader of the Taliban last year and had insisted on continuing after his father took office.
Mullah Haibatullah took over leadership of the Taliban after his predecessor, Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour died in a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan in May, 2016.
"Before this, a number of close relatives and family members of previous supreme leaders had conducted suicide bombings but Sheikh Haibatullah has become the first supreme leader whose son sacrificed his life," the senior Taliban member said.
A government official said security authorities were investigating the incident and could not confirm that Mullah Haibatullah's son had been killed.
The incident in Gereshk came as fighting in Helmand, source of most of Afghanistan's opium crop, has intensified in recent days following the end of the harvest season.
The insurgents control much of the province and threaten Lashkar Gah but government forces, backed by U.S. airstrikes, have launched an operation to drive them back from around the provincial capital.
In addition to the fighting in Helmand, there have also been reports of heavy fighting in other areas of the country, from Kunduz and Baghlan province in the north to Farah province in the west.

Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansoor believed killed in US drone strike
Taliban denies through Qatari Al Jazeera
Mullah Akhtar Mansoor is hiding in Pakistan(Balochistan)
Taliban leader Mullah Mansour was likely killed in an airstrike in Pakistan late Saturday, a US official told CNN.
The official said the strike occurred on Saturday in a remote area of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, southwest of the town of Ahmad Wal.
The official said Mansour was the target of the strike, adding that a second adult male combatant travelling with him in a vehicle was also likely killed.
US officials were still assessing the results, the official said.
The strike was carried out by multiple unmanned aircraft operated by US Special Operations forces. There was no collateral damage, the official added.
President Barack Obama authorised the strike, the official said.
The Pentagon confirmed the strike in a statement but did not say whether Mansour was killed.
"Mansour has been the leader of the Taliban and actively involved with planning attacks against facilities in Kabul and across Afghanistan, presenting a threat to Afghan civilians and security forces, our personnel, and coalition partners," Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said in the statement.
"Mansour has been an obstacle to peace and reconciliation between the government of Afghanistan and the Taliban, prohibiting Taliban leaders from participating in peace talks with the Afghan government that could lead to an end to the conflict."
Cook continued, "Since the death of Mullah Omar and Mansour's assumption of leadership, the Taliban have conducted many attacks that have resulted in the death of tens of thousands of Afghan civilians and Afghan security forces as well as numerous US and coalition personnel. We are still assessing the results of the strike and will provide more information as it becomes available."

Afghanistan's Kunar province is close to Pakistan border.
Pakistan Army uses Kunar province to sneak in Talib militants, weapons and ammunition as the snow melts in the mountain passes in Summer.
This happens when the road to and from Jalalabad is heavily guarded, so they take the longer northern route.
ANA Helicopter was possibly on resupply mission.

Taliban`s Intelligence Chief and Deputy kidnapped in Pakistan
Could be
- Some money and payment dispute with Paki Army or....
- Some land and territory dispute with new Islamic State franchise office.
- Talib Inter office turf war.
Pakistan Army training mujahideen for attacks during holy wars.
Taliban intelligence chief and his deputy have been separately kidnapped by unknown gunmen in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, sources in the insurgency said on Sunday.
A source close to the Taliban told Pajhwok Afghan News that Taliban intelligence chief Mullah Mohammadzai and his deputy Mullah Mohammad Issa had been kidnapped on the outskirts of Quetta last week.
He said first Mohammadzai was kidnapped by masked gunmen in Kachlak area from his car to an unknown location, suggesting the intelligence chief might have been picked up by security forces.
Two days after Mohammadzai’s abduction, his deputy Mullah Mohammad Issa Akhund was kidnapped from Quetta’s Ghausabad area.
The sources said Mullah Mohammadzai had recently returned from Afghanistan where he closely watched clashes between Taliban, Islamic State fighters and supporters of slain former Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah Mansoor.
Mohammadzai, who stayed in Zabul, had a major role in anti-Dadullah clashes. The two were seized nearly three weeks after another key commander in the infighting, Mullah Mohammad Alam, was found mysteriously dead.
Mullah Mohammadzai is considered a close ally of Taliban’s supreme leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour as both belong to Ishaqzai tribe.
A Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said he spoke to Mullah Mohammadzai on Sunday and rejected his abduction as propaganda.
