Nasrullah Mansour was a militia leader in Afghanistan.^[1] Nasrullah Mansur represented the Harakat-i-Islami at a conference of militia leaders who agreed to form a coalition against the Soviets, in 1984.^[2] The Harakat is a group largely drawn from Afghanistan's Shi'ite and Hazara minorities.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]

The English language translation of A.A. Lyakhovskiy's "Plamya Afgana" ("Afghan flame"), an account of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan from the Soviet point of view, described Nasrullah Mansur as the leader of Afghanistan's Movement of the Islamic Revolution.^[1]

Nasrullah was killed by a car bomb in 1993.^[7]

Guantanamo connection

The extrajudicial detention of Guantanamo captive, Ali Shah Mousavi, was justified, in part, because he had worked as a medic for Nasrullah Mansour during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, during the 1980s, and Nasrullah's son Saifullah Mansur had subsequently become a Taliban leader.^[7]^[8]
