Paki Talib Big Turban Sez ‘Nyah Nyah Ya Missed Me!’: TTP Sources

2021-12-18

[ToloNews] A dronezap hit a house just inside Afghanistan’s border with Pakistain, apparently targeting a senior member of the Pak Taliban
Taliban

...mindless ferocity in a turban...
, but the missile failed to explode, Pak Taliban sources said on Thursday.

Unexploded? Not one of ours, then. Have they looked for Chinese or Turkish markings on the case?

One of the Taliban officials said the drone fired a missile at a hujra, or guesthouse on the compound of Maulvi Faqir Mohammad, a big shot of the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistain movement (TTP).

"It was around 3:30 when a drone suddenly appeared in the sky. We got worried and advised Maulvi Faqir to go to a safe place but he refused and argued it was not possible to hide in the day time," said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Around half an hour later, when Faqir Mohammad left his own house to visit the guesthouse, the missile struck.

"He was about 3 meters away from the hujra room when the drone fired a missile and hit the same room. Luckily the missile didn’t explode and he and other people around him remained safe," he said.

Faqir Mohammad is a former deputy leader of the TTP who spent eight years in Afghanistan’s Bagram prison before being released by the Afghan Taliban following their shock overthrow of the Western-backed government in Kabul on Aug. 15.

Released and in a fancy compound with guesthouse. Groovy. Though the only ones shocked are in the Biden administration.

The apparent attempt to kill him in a dronezap came after talks to agree over a permanent ceasefire between the TTP and the Pak government broke down last week after the krazed killer movement refused to extend a 30-day truce.

“Hudna’s over. Let the killing begin!”
Khaama Press’s take on the story:

Pakistan fires rocket on eastern Kunar province

A spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Bilal Karimi said that Pak forces on Thursday, December 16 fires rockets on the Shaltan district of Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
Bilal Karimi said that the rockets were fired on mountains and did not give further information about the casualties.

On the other hand, rumors had it that Pak forces have targeted members of Tahreek-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) and have killed a key commander of the Taliban but the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan did not confirm the rumor.

Earlier, it was said that ~~Arclight~~ airstrike

...KABOOM!...
s has been carried out in Kunar province but the front man has denied any aerial strike in the province.

In the meantime, local residents have claimed that Pak forces want to take more land of Afghanistan and get even closer to the Kunar River.

It is worth mentioning that rocket shells by Pakistain on Kunar province are not new but the country has often been firing rockets on the province that often lead to financial loss and casualties.
