A former peace committee member identified as Siddique, alias Madd Baba, was shot and killed by armed assailants in the Dazha Ghundai area of Wana, Lower South Waziristan, according to local sources.
Local sources said Siddique, a resident of Kaltutai, had previously been associated with a local peace committee whose members are sometimes locally referred to as the “Good Taliban.”
The Islamic State Khorasan Province (IS-KP) later claimed responsibility for the killing. In its statement, the group also claimed that its members took a motorcycle belonging to the deceased.
WAR MONITOR has not independently verified IS-KP’s claim or the circumstances surrounding the killing.
Independent verification is pending.
