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.

However, a Taliban commander opening fire on his comrades within the same rank has rarely been reported.
