Mullah Abdur Razzaq Akhundzada, an ethnic Pashtun, is a member of the Taliban leadership as of the early 2000s (decade), and a former Afghan interior minister.[1]

Razzaq traveled to Pakistan in mid-May 2000 to discuss the extradition of criminals, terrorism, drug trafficking and the Afghanistan Transit Trade Agreement.[2] Pakistan demanded the closure of 18 Afghan training camps, where they believed Pakistani militants were receiving training.

The British paper The Scotsman reported that Razzaq was a founding member of the Taliban; that he headed the Taliban's customs department; and was later interior minister.[3] The May 11, 2003 article said that Razzaq was the number two in a then new Taliban military command structure.
