In an IED attack targeting the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Thursday in Afghanistan’s Khost province, at least six terrorists, including commanders, were killed and 15 others were injured.
Sources claim that three of the terrorists who were slain have been named: Abdul Manan, Alam Khan Mudakhel, and Kajeer. Three more militants have not yet been given a name.
The terrorist commanders Fazl Amin, Muhammad alias Toofan, Noor Payo Khan, Tarozai, Sat Kai, Ali Sur Khan, Zubair, Hijratullah, Kamal, Sher Afzal, Bakhtullah, Zubihullah, and two others are among those who have suffered injuries.
The attack’s perpetrators have not been identified by any group or nation.
It should be highlighted that while the TTP declares its allegiance to the Afghan Taliban, it is not an official member of the organisation in charge of Kabul.
The Taliban’s rivals are the Daesh Khorasan affiliate in Afghanistan, which takes its name from an earlier moniker for the area. In 2014, Daesh-affiliated fighters first showed up in eastern Afghanistan and eventually spread to other regions.
