Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Chief Mullah Fazlullah is hiding in an area of Afghanistan where the Kabul government has no control, Afghanistan’s envoy to Pakistan said earlier today.
Talking to media and Afghan refugees at the Afghan Consulate in Peshawar, Dr Muhammad Omar Zakhilwal assured that Kabul would not allow its land to be used against Pakistan.
He ruled out any rift between Kabul and Islamabad, saying that it was an atmosphere of distrust. He said peace could be restored if this distrust is ended.
Dr Omar went on to say, “Some elements in Pakistan and Afghanistan do not want peace.”
Fazlullah was appointed as chief of TTP on 7 November 2013 after the death of Hakimullah Mehsud in a drone attack. He fled to Afghanistan after Pakistan launched a massive crackdown against militants.
