Islamabad, Sat, 06 Mar 2010 ANI

Islamabad, Mar.6 (ANI): At least 30 extremists, including top Taliban commanders Maulana Faqir Mohammad, Qari Ziarur Rehman and Fateh Mohammad were reportedly killed as helicopter gunships pounded a suspected militant hideout in Mohmand Agency of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).

 

"The Taliban surround attacked sites when they lose important leaders or commanders and that is why we believe Rehman and Faqir are among the killed," The Daily Times quoted a security official, who refused to be named, as saying.

 

Sources said that Maulana Faqir, the chief of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Bajaur agency, and the two other 'commanders' were seen in Mohmand on Wednesday.

 

Faqir had reportedly moved to Mohmand after his main base in Damadola was captured by Pakistani troops last week.

 

However, there was no official confirmation of the report.

 

Meanwhile, in Ghalanai security forces showed four bodies of militants to the media.

 

The extremists were said to be killed by the security forces during a raid in Chamar Kand area of the Mohmand Agency on Thursday. (ANI)
