Meanings of akhund in English

But even the divinely-inspired screw up, Deputy Leader Mullah Berader Akhund confesses.

Only one survivor was found; Mullah Massoud Akhund's brother, Zwak.

You didn't steal from a man like Massoud Akhund.

Massoud Akhund opened his mouth to tell them that they would never triumph in Afghanistan.

Sources told Reuters that Akhund was arrested late on Monday in the southwestern city of Quetta.

Akhund's arrest was disclosed to Reuters by several security officials, though it was never confirmed by Pakistani authorities.

Reports of Akhund's arrest in the Pakistani media, with the exception of the Dawn newspaper, have been scanty.

He professed to be a successor of the great Akhund of Swat, and to have inherited his powers.

A Taliban spokesman said earlier the group's chief negotiator Mullah Baradar Akhund had held a phone call with Trump.

After Akhund's arrest, one senior Taliban leader in southern Afghanistan voiced disgust at what he saw as Pakistani duplicity.

The New York Times carried a report on its Web site, saying U.S. officials in Washington had confirmed Akhund's arrest.

Mullah Massoud Akhund stood about five-foot-eight, a good three inches shorter than the blue-eyed man, but he had a commanding presence.

Extra security forces were deployed at government buildings and public places in Quetta, the southwest city where Akhund was caught on Monday.

The head of the Interior Ministry's Crisis Management Unit, retired Brigadier Javed Iqbal Cheema, denied Akhund had been detained when asked by Reuters.

Akhund's arrest came as the Bush administration faces a wave of scepticism over Pakistan's role as an ally in the war on terrorism.

Taliban sources, speaking on satellite telephones from undisclosed locations, said Akhund was caught at the home of a relative in the Baluchistan provincial capital.
