Saif-ur Mansur

Maulvi Saif-ur Mansur (also Saifullah Rahman Mansour, Saifullah Rehman Mansoor; died ) was a senior Taliban commander.

Saifullah's father, Nasrullah Mansur, had been one of the leading militia commanders who fought against the Soviet Union during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

Prior to the American invasion of Afghanistan Saifullah was the deputy commander of the Taliban's garrison at Kargha, on the outskirts of Kabul. Saifullah was reported by Pajhwok Afghan News to have said "The fight against America for the supremacy of Islam and the defense of our country will continue until our last breath".

In May 2002 Time magazine described Saifullah as an emerging hero in the Taliban, after his men destroyed an American helicopter, killing seven American soldiers, in the Battle of Takur Ghar in Paktia Province.

Saifullah was killed in combat in January 2008, according to Pajhwok Afghan News, quoting a source in the National Intelligence Department.
