Ex-TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid killed in US drone strike: report
Former spokesperson for the outlawed Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), terrorist Shahidullah Shahid has been killed in a US drone strike, Afghan media reported Thursday.
Quoting the National Directorate of Security (NDS) in Afghanistan, the official account of the country’s renowned news channel Tolo News tweeted that Shahidullah Shahid had been killed in Nangarhar province.
However, independent sources have not confirmed the killing of the militant commander in a drone strike.
Shahid recently joined the self-styled ISIL terrorist group as a senior commander in Pakistan. He was effectively the group’s second in command in Pakistan. Previously, he had served as spokesman of the TTP under Hakimullah Mehsud and current chief terrorist Mullah Fazlullah.
The militant commander, whose real name is Sheikh Maqbool Orakzai, parted ways with the TTP and pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, head of ISIL terrorist group.Ex-TTP spokesman Shahidullah Shahid killed in US drone strike: report
