A Pakistani Taliban member and his 5 bodyguards were killed in Kunar

According to IRNA news agency, Pakistani media have reported that the leader of Jamaat-ul-Ahrar group named “Shamshir” along with five of his bodyguards were killed after a roadside bomb exploded in Kunar province.

Jamaat-ul-Ahrar is a subsidiary of the terrorist group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan, which claimed responsibility for the deadly explosion on February 10 this year in the city of Peshawar. At least one hundred worshipers, including dozens of policemen, have lost their lives in this suicide operation.

Jamaat-ul-Ahrar declared the attack as a revenge operation for the killing of its founder Omar Khalid Khorasani by Pakistani security forces, although the Pakistani Taliban denied any involvement in the attack.

Informed sources have told Pakistani media that Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, which separated from Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan years ago and then rejoined this group in 2020, has now launched independent attacks again.

The intensification of terrorist attacks in Pakistan has caused the security institutions of this country to expand operations against insecure factors.

The unprecedented increase in terrorist incidents in recent months, which have resulted in heavy casualties on the security forces, especially civilians in Pakistan, has made the country’s leaders implement a new phase of massive operations against terrorists.
