United States military official has confirmed that a drone strike conducted by American forces has targeted terrorist Mullah Fazalullah, the leader of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, in Afghanistan's Kunar province near the border with Pakistan. ''The drone strike was conducted in Afghanistan's eastern Kunar province, targeting Maulana Fazlullah's hideout,'' Lieutenant Colonel Martin O'Donnell told Voice of America (VOA). The US military also later confirmed that it carried out a strike targeting Afghanistan's eastern Kunar province, where Pakistani Taliban chief Maulana Fazlullah is believed to be hiding.
The group was behind the massacre of more than 150 people at a Peshawar school in December 2014, and nine dead in another attack in December 2017 in the same city. It was also responsible for the October 2012 shooting of Malala Yousafzai, who became a global symbol of the fight for girls' rights to schooling.
