He had a fondness for beheading his captives, and was feared by both his opponents and followers. He was also known to behead his followers who disobed him, but was still respected as a leader who could deal a crushing blow to his adversaries.
Deriving sadistic pleasure – by beheading captives – was not the only trait Mullah Dadullah shares with Zarqawi.
He chured out propaganda DVD’s encouraging scores of suicide bombers and fighters to participate in the bloody jihad against the US led `occupation forces` and the Karzai government. The DVD’s showed him blasting a target with a heavy machine gun, dishing out blessings and ordaining a succession of would-be “martyrs”.
During fighting, Taliban radio would often report his presence on the front lines even when he was days away from the fighting, to unnerve the opposition fighters.
His terror ways remained as vicious as it was during the Taliban’s heydays. He showed no mercy to people suspected of spying for the US coalition forces.
