A picture of Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, the son of Taliban founder Mullah Omar and Afghanistan's interim defense minister, has surfaced.
Yesterday, the Taliban announced an interim government under which Mullah Mohammad Hassan Akhund would be the caretaker Prime Minister of Afghanistan, while Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and Maulvi Abdul Salam Hanafi would be the Deputy Prime Ministers.
In addition, Mullah Mohammad Yaqub Mujahid, head of the Taliban's military operations, has been appointed interim defense minister.
Now a picture of Afghanistan's interim defense minister, Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, has surfaced and was released by the Taliban.
This photo was released by Taliban leader Ahmadullah Muttaqi from his official Twitter account.
It can be seen in the picture that Mullah Yaqoob is present with some of his companions but it is not clear when and where this picture is from.
It should be noted that after the Taliban took control of Kabul, two important members of the top leadership, Mullah Muhammad Yaqoob Mujahid and Sirajuddin Haqqani, did not come to the fore.
