Terrorist Badshah Khan, who was considered to be the right hand of outlawed TTP chief Noor Wali, was killed in Afghanistan’s Paktika province on Tuesday, sources said.

He was killed in a landmine blast.

He was on the most wanted list. He was said to be involved in terrorist operations against Pakistan forces.

Badshah Khan was also a close aide of former TTP deputy chief, Khan Said alias Commander Sajna, killed in a US drone strike in February 2018.

The banned TTP leader, Mufti Noor Wali Mehsood, earlier this year indicated that his outfit was still amenable to a ceasefire agreement with the government.

“We held talks with Pakistan mediated by Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan. We are still open to the ceasefire agreement,” Mehsood said in a message.
