Militants’ crackdown as US-Taliban peace talks go on
Three influential Pakistani militants have been killed in the past two weeks, and another Pakistani militant group has been targeted in a deadly attack by the Afghan Special Forces.
Three prominent Pakistani militants have been killed in Afghanistan recently. The latest incident happened when Shehryar Mehsud, leader of a breakaway faction of the Pakistani Taliban, was killed in Kunar when a remote control bomb exploded close to his home.
Reports indicate a raid on the Hizbul Ahrar Pakistani militant group by Afghan forces in the eastern province of Nangarhar.
This comes as the peace talks are ongoing in Qatar, and the recent reports suggest that the US and the Taliban have reached an agreement over Afghanistan’s peace.

Panjshir’s Parande hydropower dam has been fully completed and is now approaching the operational phase, officials announced on Saturday.
The spokesperson for the governor of Panjshir, Saifuddin Laton, said that for the first time, the province will benefit from electricity generated from its own water resources.
Laton added that the project was designed and implemented by Ukrainian electrical engineers in collaboration with the company Inter Global Middle East, at a cost of $7.6 million.
The dam is expected to have a generation capacity of four megawatts.
Noorullah Noori, the Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, has called Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif a “mentally ill” person for threatening Afghanistan with attacks.
Speaking at a gathering, Noori asked Khawaja Asif to study history before making a decision.
He said: “Your history against Bangladesh and India is clear. Our history against Russia, America and Britain is clear. You judge.”
Pakistani officials have consistently claimed that attacks in the country are organized by militants in Afghanistan, a claim that the Islamic Emirate denies.
Pakistan carried out attacks in Kabul and Paktika about a month ago, which led to deadly clashes between the two sides.
The two sides have held three rounds of talks, but the talks have been inconclusive.
