PAKISTANI TALIBAN NAMES NEW LEADER AFTER FAZLULLAH’S DEATH

June 24, 2018     Comment Closed     Games

ISLAMABAD, Pakistani Taliban said, the group has named Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud, as the new chief, and Mufti Mazaham alias Mufti Hazratas, his deputy, after confirming the death of Mullah Fazlullah by a U.S. drone attack.

Wali, who belongs to the South Waziristan region, was earlier serving as deputy of the group.

In a statement released on Saturday, Taliban spokesman, Mohammad Khorasani, confirmed the death of Fazlullalh, in the U.S. drone attack on Jun 13.

Pakistan Foreign Ministry spokesman and Afghan President, Ashraf Ghani, said that, Fazlullah's death was a serious blow to the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Pakistani security officials, stated that, the drone fired missiles on the vehicle of the Taliban leader, after he visited a centre of the Pakistani Taliban militants, in Afghanistan's eastern Kunar province, bordering Pakistan.

Four of Fazlullah's guards were also killed in the attack.

Pakistan insists that Fazlullah had regrouped Pakistani militants, in Afghanistan's border regions, after they fled to a neighbouring country, in recent years.

TTP had carried out a series of terrorist attacks in Pakistan, under Fazlullah's leadership, including the 2014 attack on an army-run school in Peshawar, which left 145 people, mostly children, dead.
