Mullah Baradar, the Taliban's deputy leader and Afghanistan's deputy PM, is currently missing after reports of a punch-up with Khalil Haqqani, a leader in the fearsome Haqqani network that is vying for power in the new Afghan government with Baradar's more-moderate allies
* Taliban descended into in-fighting, with more-moderate faction thought to be at war with terrorist hardliners
* Baradar, the Taliban's deputy leader and chief negotiator, is believed to have got into a punch-up with Khalil Haqqani, deputy leader of the fearsome Haqqani Network terrorist group
* Haqqani appears to have won, with Baradar now missing along with a key ally amid rumours both are dead
* Fighting is thought to be over balance of power and who should take the credit for America's withdrawal - Baradar's team of negotiators or the Haqqanis' army of terrorists and suicide bombers
The Taliban has descended into bitter in-fighting with so-called 'moderates' thought to be at war with terrorist hardliners as both vie for power in the vacuum left by America's retreat from Afghanistan.
Mullah Baradar, a member of the Taliban old-guard who led negotiations with the Americans in Qatar, is thought to have been involved in a fight with Khalil Haqqani, a leader in the terrorist Haqqani Network and one of the FBI's most-wanted, in Kabul's presidential palace as the pair argued over who had done more to drive US forces out.
Haqqani - who is the country's new refugee minister - appears to have emerged the victor, with Baradar - the new deputy prime minister - now in hiding, with the Taliban forced to deny rumours that he was shot dead in the fight.

WNU Editor: The Haqqani leaders have close ties to Al Qaeda. If they are the ones who are now on top, it is a given that Al Qaeda will be playing a major in Afghanistan.

So is Blinky, President Oatmeal and Ron Klain going to not only take the Taliban off the terror list, but the Haqqani Network too?
How devastating of a wedge issue can the Democrats create to cover over this problem?
Oh believe me, the Democrats are working full speed to destabilise other countries too, including the US
And if you think they don't know that forcing people to quit their jobs at the threat of injecting a vaccine they oppose, will not cause further destabilization of supply lines, then you also believe the election wasn't rigged and the vaccines are safe.
How do I know that you think that?
Because you've been programmed to think that if you watch CNN, MSNBC etc
The reality is this.. supply shortages increasing, money at the same time inflating, mass unemployment despite so many job openings.. guess why
Your nation is purposefully destabilized, and every aspect of it, not just healthcare, food supply and economically. No no. Every aspect.. culturally, education, police, military, law, everything
Societal cohesion
They, pit vaccinated against unvaccinated. They do this the Democrats.
A Republican will give you the option to take the vaccine or not.
A Democrat takes your job, renders you dependent on the state and then takes more and more from you
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Donald Trump and Taliban leader Abdul Ghani Baradar are all named on Time magazine's 100 Most Influential

Baradar may be dead. WNU opined that if he were, we would know. WNU is probably right, but since the original cast of the Taliban are in a fight with the Haqqani Network maybe not?
If Joe Biden resign in 2022 due to health, it call into question Time's objectivity or partisanship.
If Time is wrong on Baradar and Biden, how wrong could they be with the Silicon Valley notetaker?
The Haqqanis are the ones supposed to be closest to ISIS. I’m so glad Afbidenstan won’t become a terrorist haven any time soon.
