Qari Mohammad Yousef Ahmadi (Pashto: قارى محمد يوسف احمدى) is one of the two Taliban spokesmen,[1] the other being Zabiullah Mujahid.
[9] In November 2012, Ahmadi accidentally used CC instead of BCC when emailing a routine Taliban press release, exposing the names and email addresses of more than 400 Taliban press contacts.
The list consisted mostly of journalists, as well as email addresses that may have belonged to an Afghan legislator, a provincial governor, academics, activists, an Afghan consultative committee, and a representative of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.
In April 2014, he reported in detail on a suicide bomber that used a motorcycle to assassinate 50 US and ally soldiers.
His byline also appears on English-language Internet postings claiming to report insurgent activities.
