Taliban says video shows 'allegiance' to new leader

The Afghan Taliban has released a video that they say shows hundreds of people declaring their allegiance to their new leader, Mullah Akhtar Mansour.

The footage comes amid reports of a split in the group and claims not all senior members are happy with their new chief.

Mansour replaces Mullah Omar who led the Taliban for twenty years.
