Spokesman for Afghan Ministry of Defence Mohammad Radmanish and a US official have confirmed that Mullah Fazlullah was killed in the strike carried out on Wednesday. They said four commanders of the terrorist group were also killed in the attack.
According to the reports the banned TTP chief was leaving a militant center, known as Pachai Markaz, just before midnight after attending a dinner party along with several key commanders.
