It is reported that Mullah Hibatullah, the leader of the Taliban, Mullah Matiullah, the head of intelligence, and Hafiz Abdul Majid, the financial head of the group, were killed together in a place in Pakistan during an explosion.
This comes at a time when the Taliban leader has not released any voice messages for over a year.
If this news is accurate, it indicates the extraordinary strength of Pakistan's intelligence services, as several months have passed since this incident, yet this country has kept the truth hidden.
The Afghan government must also remain vigilant and aware of the fact that it is facing such intelligence services, and it must urgently address the weaknesses in its own intelligence gates.
