Mawlawi Dadullah
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Escaped from the siege of Kunduz in November 2001 and reached Kandahar. Took part in the evacuation of Qandahar, then may have returned to his native town Kajai in Helmand province [26]; allegedly participated (by giving orders via cell phone) in the murder of Ricardo Munguia on March 27, 2003 Mawlawi Dadullah was captured on Friday 19th May 2006. He was one of the most effective commanders in the resistance.
(Note: Early reports that Dadulluh was captured on the 19th of May, 2006 have been much discredited, and no further report of his capture or of him being held have been made. It is generally assumed that he is still at large.)
He was nick-named by the anti-Taliban resistance before the Taliban governmentt fell as the Lame Englishman because he a) lost a leg in the jihad and because b)he's as cunning as the devilish English.
He has been linked to massacres of Shi'a, the scorched earth policy of Shi'a villages in 2001 (which he boasted about once on the radio), the summary execution of men suspected of throwing hand grenades into his compound in 2001 (they were hanged at one of the main roundabouts).
