Fazlullah not in Afghanistan, say officials
ISLAMABAD — Afghan authorities have denied Pakistan’s claim that one of the most feared Pakistani Taleban leader, Mullah Fazlullah, is operating from Afghanistan.
The Afghans said Islamabad has not shared with them any intelligence regarding Mullah Fazlullah’s presence in eastern Afghanistan.
Pakistan says the fugitive commander of Tehreek-e-Taleban Pakistan (Swat chapter), has regrouped his fighters in the Afghan province of Kunar and has been mounting sporadic attacks on Pakistani border posts and villages. He is also alleged to have planned the attack on teenaged child activist Malalah Yousafzai.
According to the Pakistani military, Fazlullah’s loyalists have carried out around 15 attacks in a year, killing dozens of people — both civilians and security personnel.
Afghanistan, however, claims that TTP militants are hiding in remote mountainous regions on the Pakistani side of the Durand Line.
Wasifullah Wasifi, the spokesperson for the governor of Kunar, was quoted by The Express Tribune that Pakistan has not shared any evidence to substantiate its claims about the presence of Fazlullah in Afghanistan.
Wasifi’s comments came days after Pakistan took up the issue of Fazlullah’s extradition with Marc Grossman, US President Barack Obama’s pointman for the region.
The issue was raised after the TTP claimed responsibility for the October 9 attack on teenage peace activist Malala.
Meanwhile, the Afghan interior ministry reiterated calls for the custody of Afghan Taleban leaders who, they claim, are living in Pakistan.
