Al Q-connected TTP Number 3 killed in US airstrike in Paktika
2018-03-04
[Khaama Press] A top leader of the Tehrik-e-Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
Pakistain (TTP) having links with the Al Qaeda terrorist network was killed in a US Arclight airstrike in southeastern Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
province of Afghanistan.

"A U.S. airstrike killed a Tehrik-e Taliban (TTP) deputy commander and Al Qaeda controller named Rehan in Bermal district, Paktika province, Feb. 22. Rehan is the second significant TTP deputy commander killed in Paktika this year. Sanja Meshoud was killed by a U.S. airstrike on Jan. 27 in Bermal, Paktika," according to a statement by the coalition forces.

The statement further added that "As TTP deputy commanders, Rehan and Meshoud yielded influence within Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda provides funding to the TTP. The TTP, in turn, facilitate Al Qaeda travel and operations in the region. The removal of Rehan and Meshoud degrades Al Qaeda’s ability to fund and direct TTP and other violent murderous Moslems throughout Paktika and the surrounding areas."

According to the statement, U.S. and Afghan air strikes continue to demonstrate the collective will of the international community to fight terrorism in Afghanistan.

The anti-government armed holy warrior and terrorist groups have not commented regarding the report so far.
