Ghafoor alias Jaleel was killed in an intelligence-based operation in Bajaur district.

“Terrorist Ghafoor alias Jaleel was a close acquaintance of Maulvi Faqir Muhammad – a top leader of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) – and was involved in many terrorist activities,” ISPR said.

"The terrorists were spotted fleeing from Mohammad Khel Village towards Vezda Sar and [were] killed during an exchange of fire," ISPR said.
