RAWALPINDI: According to security sources, Muhammad Ihsani, also known as Anwaar, a senior leader of the outlawed group Daesh-K, was slain in Mazar Sharif, Afghanistan, on Sunday.
They said that Muhammad Ihsani was in charge of escorting, training, and bringing Tajik suicide bombers into Pakistan.
According to authorities, he was also the primary enabler of the Kocha Risaldar attack in Peshawar in 2022, which resulted in the deaths of 67 people.
Since Taliban leaders returned to Afghanistan in 2021, Pakistan has seen a rise in cross-border terror attacks, especially in the neighboring provinces of KP and Balochistan.
