Khurasani did not disclose details about the incident but said he was on his way for carrying out an attack when Afghan forces stopped his way and killed him.
Afghan government kept it secret and did not share information with the public in this regard.
The questions are why the TTP leaders were in Kabul, how and who killed them.
Another source from TTP said they believe the murder was done by Pakistan’s intelligence service, ISI.
The source confirmed the dead bodies were found near the luxury InterContinental Hotel, in Kabul.
