Description:
A wanted militant commander belonging to the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Rafiullah, was killed during infighting in Afghanistan, said sources on Monday.
Sources in Afghanistan said the latest bout of infighting within TTP ranks was due to funds and positions within the militant organisation.
Rafiullah, known by various codenames, was known to support the former intelligence agency of Afghanistan, NDS, Baloch militants and the militant Islamic State (IS).
The militant commander was wanted since 2011 in various incidents of terrorism and was known to facilitate suicide bombers and arrange transport and lodging for them.
He had facilitated the suicide bombers who attacked Quetta Civil Hospital and Islamabad's Serena Hotel. Rafiullah had also facilitated attacks on various law enforcement agencies and was said to be the operational commander of the attacks on Major Naeem, Inspector Kabir, Baaz Mohammad and Haji Gulab of Kuchlak and a bank robbery in the same town.
The militant was also linked to kidnapping for ransom incidents involving doctors.
