Top Pak Taliban commanders among 30 extremists reportedly killed in FATA | At least 30 extremists, including top Taliban
commanders Maulana Faqir Mohammad , Qari Ziarur Rehman and Fateh Mohammad were reportedly killed as helicopter gunships pounded a suspected militant hideout
in Mohmand Agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). “The
Taliban
surround attacked sites when they lose important leaders or commanders and that
is why we believe Rehman and Faqir are among the killed,” The Daily Times quoted
a security official, who refused to be named, as saying. Sources said that Maulana
Faqir, the chief of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan ( TTP ) Bajaur agency, and
the two other ‘commanders’ were seen in Mohmand on Wednesday. Faqir had
reportedly
moved to Mohmand after his main base in Damadola was captured by Pakistani
troops
last week. However, there was no official confirmation of the report. Meanwhile,
in Ghalanai security forces showed four bodies of militants to the media. The
extremists were said to be killed by the security forces during a raid in Chamar
Kand area of the Mohmand Agency on Thursday. |
