AhlulBayt News Agency - Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Mullah Fazlullah has reportedly been killed in a drone strike in Afghanistan, Gulf News reported on Monday.
According to unconfirmed reports, a drone strike was conducted on Fazlullah’s house in Afghanistan, killing at least five people, including a woman said to be TTP chief’s wife and his son.
However, there are rumours circulating on social media, and electronic media, quoting an Arab newspaper’s report about the death of high-value target in Afghanistan in an airstrike.
Unconfirmed reports state that a drone strike was conducted on Fazlullah's house in Afghanistan in which he was neutralised. However, there have been several reports of Fazlullah being killed in a drone strike in the past but they all turned to be false.
Last year in March, reports emerged that Fazlullah could be among those killed in an air raid and ground raids in parts of Khyber Agency's Tirah Valley.
But TTP dismissed the reports saying that their chief was still alive.
