Al-Afghani was the senior al-Qaeda aide, according to the newspaper.
The Taliban (under UN sanctions for terrorism) came to power in Afghanistan in August 2021, toppling the U.S.-backed government as U.S. and NATO troops were withdrawing from the country.
Their withdrawal was after almost 20 years of military presence there.
It said that numerous countries and international organisations responded to the militant takeover by cutting aid to and ties with Kabul.
