A senior Pakistani militant with $3M US bounty on his head has been killed along with three aides in neighbouring Afghanistan, officials say
The Pakistani Taliban are a separate group but allied with the Afghan Taliban, who seized power in Afghanistan a year ago.
Pakistani officials said on Monday that the death of Abdul Wali, also known as Omar Khalid Khurasani, could deal a blow to nascent peace talks between Pakistan's Taliban, known as the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan or TTP, and the Pakistani government after meetings facilitated by the Taliban rulers in Kabul.
Khurasani was the chief of Jamat-ul-Ahrar , a TTP branch that is designated a terrorist group by the United Nations and United States, which had offered $3 million for information leading to his capture or death.
