“Omar Khalid Khurasani, the emir of the Pakistani Taliban faction known as Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA), issued a statement today just days after the group’s spokesman told Agence France-Presse he was killed in a US airstrike in Afghanistan. The release of the statement under Khurasani’s name on the group’s official Telegram account was an all but explicit denial of his death.”
