Main Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Mullah Abdul Qayyum Zakir will be deputy defence minister, while Sadr Ibrahim was named deputy minister for the interior. Both men had been expected to take major positions in the new government but neither was named in the main list of ministers announced this month.
The two were identified in U.N. reports as being among battlefield commanders loyal to the former Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour who were pressing the leadership to step up the war against the Western-backed government.
The appointments add to the roster of hardliners in the main group of ministers, which included figures like Sirajuddin Haqqani, head of the militant Haqqani network, blamed for a string of attacks on civilian targets.
"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Monday pledged to 'swiftly' conduct an investigation into what it called 'extremely troubling' footage of Border Patrol agents on horseback aggressively dispersing Haitian migrants, saying the internal probe could lead to disciplinary actions," CBS News reports.
The move comes after White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki helped spread the false narrative that illegal immigrants were being "whipped" by agents on horseback.
The leftist media spent much of the day smearing agents, claiming a whip was used.
