Security forces killed a key Khariji commander affiliated with the banned Fitna al-Khawarij, also known as Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Saifullah, also known as Badri, during an intelligence-based operation in Khyber district.
According to security officials, Saifullah was a senior commander of Jamaat-ul-Ahrar, a faction of the TTP involved in numerous terror activities across Pakistan. He was considered one of the main planners behind attacks targeting security forces and civilians in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and other areas.
Jamaat-ul-Ahrar has confirmed his death through its official communication channels. Security sources say his elimination is seen as a significant blow to the group’s operational network in the region.
Further details of the operation, including the exact location and whether any associates were apprehended, have not yet been disclosed.
