Rahmatullah Nabil, the former head of the National Directorate of Security (NDS), says Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the deputy prime minister of the Taliban, is poisoned.
In a tweet on Thursday, Nabil said quoting sources from the Taliban that Ghani Baradar was poisoned and then was taken to Dubai for treatment.
The Taliban members have not yet commented on his health condition.
Last year, social media users also reported that Mullah Baradar was injured as a result of an inter-group conflict, but the Taliban had considered it a rumor.
