A Taliban militant who was conducting insurgency activities as a local commander in Bati Kot district has killed his two senior leaders in an insider attack.
According to the local government officials, the incident took place late on Tuesday night in Takia area, Khaama Press reported on Wednesday.
Bati Kot district administrative chief Nematullah Noorzai said the assailant has been identified as Khairullah who opened fire on his senior leaders late on Tuesday night, leaving two of them dead.
The anti-government armed militant groups have not commented regarding the report so far.
Infighting among the Taliban insurgents is not rare as numerous incidents have been reported since the death of the Taliban group founder Mullah Mohammad Omar.
However, a Taliban commander opening fire on his comrades within the same rank has rarely been reported.
