The outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Mohmand faction chief, and patron of TTP-Jamatul Ahrar (TTP-JA) Umar Khalid Khorasani has suffered serious injuries in a clash with Afghan security forces in the Ningrahar province of Afghanistan. Former Pakistani Taliban spokesperson, and Khorasani's close aide, Ehsanullah Ehsan confirmed that the Tehreek-e-Taliban Mohmand chief was injured in a clash with the Afghan security forces.
While some independent sources said that Khorasani had been injured, Ehsan said he was injured two weeks back, and was now recovering.
