June 19: The Diplomat report by Daud Khattak states that last week, Mullah Fazlullah — aka Mullah FM radio — is yet another top gun of the designated terrorist group Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) to fall prey to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) strike. His death has yet to be formally confirmed by the TTP but numerous other sources — including Afghan President Ashraf Ghani — have announced it. Like Mullah Fazlullah, almost all top leaders of the TTP, a group that emerged from Pakistan’s Waziristan region along the Afghan border in mid-2007, have been killed by UAVs, popularly known as drones — notwithstanding the numerous anti-TTP operations conducted by Pakistani security forces since 2004.
