Slain Taliban Chief's Properties In Karachi To Be Auctioned, Rules Anti-Terrorism Court
Five properties belonging to Afghan Taliban chief Mullah Akhtar Mansour, estimated to be worth more than Rs32 millions, which he purchased in Karachi using fake identities have been acquired by the anti-terrorism court for auction, according to Dawn newspaper.

Mullah Mansour, aliases Mohammad Wali and Gul Mohammad, Akhtar Mohammad and Amaar were booked by Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in a case filed under Section 11H (concerning fundraising and money laundering) of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997 among other sections.

Mullah Mansour was killed in a US drone attack near the Pakistan-Iran border in 2016. Prior to his death, he had bought five properties in the provincial capital of Sindh which included plots and houses, while forging his identity. This was revealed by the FIA report submitted to the ATC in July last year. The properties have now been seized by the anti-terror court and will be up for auction soon.
