Huzb ul Ahrar Confirms Death of 15 of its Terrorists in Afghanistan including 6 Top Commanders

Some members are hoping that its SSG or black ops teams doing this hunting. Sorry to disappoint you but that's not how things work. There are no "James Bond 007" type agents on a GHQ payroll doing these killing sprees.

There are inherent fault lines in any armed terrorist groups due to money, power or control issues. ISI just exploits these fault lines and gets what it wants. Most of the time it's their own people doing it, The very guy having lunch with you today will fill your chest with lead if given the right incentive. That's exactly what ISI is doing creating and exploiting fault line to its advantage.

As the old saying goes "Lohay ko Loha hi kat ta hay". Best of luck to markhoors. Happy hunting
Can they be Afghan Talibans?

I am still confirming about the kunar or Kandahar incidents. Would start a thread when confirmed

Nangarhar incident and fatalities are confirmed now
Can we make it one thread that covers all these recent somewhat 'un-explained' attacks and neutralizing of TTP/JuA etc targets?

I can edit the thread title to something appropriate & update the casualty count if it changes.

Possible.

Like @Amavous said, this doesn't have to be a full Pakistani special ops team being dropped into enemy territory (in another country) to carry out ops, and then have to be extracted - those tend to be very risky operations. What's more likely is that you have intel/special forces assets embedded with various groups that are leveraging various entities on the ground to carry out these attacks.

Could also be counter intelligence - feeding false intel to the Afghans/US about the identity of these targets, making them think they're ISIS/Afghan Taliban.

And could also be the US, trying to demonstrate to Pakistan that they're finally willing to take out TTP/JUA terrorists in exchange for Pakistan facilitating the peace talks with the Afghan Taliban.

That is what I am proposing on such related threads. Would be great, if you do it. It becomes far easy to follow the news.

Yeah you can do that

However since these deaths are still in process and continuous we can post individual threads for each death for some time and then later on merging them into the sticky thread

This is very much possible

Could JSOC/CIA be helping since we're helping the US govt get the peace deal with Afg T?
If they had the power to help they would have helped them selves in Afghanistan. They don't help they need help.

More than 60% of TTP JUA wiped out in past few days and every day you will hear more of them going down.

Well we have a history of SSG or Commando operation both in ISI and outside level. So don’t be surprised if it true. It is agency job to exploit the fault line of the enemy. This is how an intelligent Agency works. Some time undercover, some time behind the scenes and some time through 3rd party task. All options are explored when a job is required to be done.
