Mohammad Ghous

Mullah Mohammad Ghous (born 1961?) was among the leadership of the Taliban which ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001.[1] He served as foreign minister of Afghanistan from September 1996, when the Taliban captured Kabul until June 1997, when he and some other Taliban leaders were kidnapped by opposition forces at Mazar-i-Sharif in the northern part of the country.[2] Ghous reportedly escaped in September 1997 when the Taliban captured that city, but he was not reappointed as foreign minister, and his whereabouts since then are not well known.
