 Pakistain (TTP), also known as Pak Taliban, commander and three other snuffies were reportedly killed in a roadside explosion in eastern Afghanistan, according to Pak media quoting Pak officials and bully boy sources.

While traveling in a vehicle with senior TTP members, Omar Khalid Khorasani, aka Abdul Wali Mohmand, who also had a $3 million bounty on his head, was killed by an unidentified bomb in the Barmal district of the Afghan south-eastern province of Paktika

The TTP leaders were reportedly traveling in the Paktika district of Barmal "for consultation" on August 7 when their car struck a roadside mine, according to a Pak publication citing unnamed sources.

So far, Taliban security authorities in Paktika province have made no statements to the media.

The current peace talks between the TTP and the Pakistain government have come to a halt after the group refused to back down from its demand that the merger of the former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) with Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province be reversed.

The Afghan Taliban requested the negotiations, which resulted in a one-month cease-fire in November.
