Fazlullah

Fazlullah would also frequently visit the training camp, but it was not known whether he was present there when the drone strike occurred.

Mulk made the comment in a telephone conversation last night with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and thanked him for sharing information about Fazlullah’s killing, said a Pakistan government statement.

Mullah Fazlullah, the leader of Pakistani Taliban was targeted and killed by a drone strike some two weeks ago in the eastern province of Kunar close to the border with Pakistan.

Pakistan has been hunting Fazlullah for several years and has repeatedly said he was plotting attacks on Pakistan from safe havens in Afghanistan.
