Mullah Muhammad Rasul

Mullah Muhammad Rasul was a Taliban-appointed governor of Nimruz Province, Afghanistan. Rasul exerted economic pressures on ethnic and religious minorities unpopular with the Taliban, and made a considerable fortune controlling cross-border drug-smuggling through Nimruz.^[1]

Rasul founded a new city, and capital of the province, called Ghurghuri, in a heavily-Pashtun area. Rasul and his functionaries fled Nimroz following U.S. airstrikes on 13 November 2001, and his office was taken over by a mujahid who returned from Iran, Abdul Karim Brahui.^[2]
