The Deobandi takfiri chief of a breakaway faction of main Deobandi takfiri Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) who masterminded some of the deadliest attacks in Pakistan was wounded in a military operation in eastern Afghanistan, his spokesperson confirmed on Sunday.

 

“I can confirm that Omar Khalid Khorasani [chief of TTP Jamaat-ul-Ahrar] was injured a few days ago in a joint operation by Afghan and Nato forces in Nangarhar province,” the spokesperson, Ehsanullah Ehsan, told the media.

“Khorasani has been shifted to a safe location where he is recuperating,” Ehsan said by telephone. He confirmed that nine fighters of his group were killed in the raid – but no prominent commander was among them. “The clashes continued for two days,” he added.

There were no comments from Afghan and Nato officials.

Khorasani was a senior commander of the TTP until last year when he was expelled for gelling together a separate faction. He was also accused of interfering in the affairs of the Afghan Taliban, while his contacts with mysterious takfiri militant groups like Ahrarul Hind and Junud-e-Khorasan, were also a source of considerable consternation in the Taliban that itself is architect of modern militant Deobandi takfiri ideology in Afghanistan.

In a scathing rejoinder, the TTP Jamaat-ul-Ahrar had also issued a long charge-sheet against the Taliban leadership, accusing them of serving ‘their personal interests’. Despite this fixed-match to hoodwink public opinion, they have no difference of their takfiri agenda aimed at massacring all those who oppose their anti-Islam and anti-humanity fanaticism and terrorism.

The TTP Jamaat-ul-Ahrar had claimed responsibility for the November 2, 2014 suicide bombing at Wagah border crossing that killed 60-plus people, women and children among them, who were leaving after attending a flag-lowering ritual by Pakistani and Indian border guards. Their predecessor TTP Fazlullah group claimed responsibility for Peshawar army public school’s children massacre on Dec.16, 2014.
