Islamabad: A top Taliban commander has been killed in clashes with a rival group in Pakistan’s Sindh province.

Hatim Mehsud, affiliated with the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Hakimullah Mehsud, was killed during exchange of fire with the rival Waliur Rehman group, police said today.

The incident took place on Friday in Gulshan-e-Bunair area on the outskirts of Karachi, the financial hub of Pakistan. “The fighting erupted as part of a turf war,” an official said.

A contingent of security personnel, including Rangers and police, conducted a targeted operation in the area and detained around two dozen suspects following the incident.

They also recovered a huge cache of arms including a 7.5 kg bomb. Around half dozen operatives of the TTP’s Hakimullah Mehsud group have so far been killed in a couple of months in the metropolis. (PTI)
