Birthdate

Somebody listed a June 12, 1969 birthdate for him - which is inconsistent with the "Flames" source which says he was 22 years old at the time of the Taliban. Sherurcij ^{(speaker for the dead)} 18:37, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I do not think this resolves the issue you point out, but according to this article in The New Yorker, he was born in 1968. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 05:16, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Further complicating the matter, The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Islamic World indicates he was born in 1969. For now, I indicated within the article that he was born in "1968 or 1969". -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 16:49, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mother

According to the U.S. Department of State (link):

[T]he mother of IMU leader Juma Namangani was summoned to a school auditorium in late August where an assembly of neighbors confronted her. Relatives of soldiers killed in the insurgency insulted her and smeared her face with black paint. Local leaders shamed her for bringing Namangani into the world until she tearfully apologized and cursed her son.

I am not sure if this information is sufficiently noteworthy to merit mention in the article; however, if it is, it can be cited using <ref name="USDOS, 2001-02-23"/>. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 18:22, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
