Afghan security forces have killed one of the top Pakistani Taliban commanders along with at least 10 other militants in an area along the border between the two countries, militant sources say.<\/p>\n

Sources in the militant group added that on Sunday Raees Khan, also known as Azam Khan Tariq, the fourth-highest ranking commander in the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and his associates were killed in the Laman area of Afghanistan\u2019s Paktika province, which is near Pakistan’s South Waziristan region.<\/p>\n

“I confirm the killing of Azam Tariq along with at least 10 other Pakistani Taliban in Paktika province,” AFP quoted a senior militant commander loyal to Tariq as saying.<\/p>\n

Tariq had been working as the spokesman for former TTP chief, HakimullahMehsud, who was killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan in 2013.<\/p>\n
