The photograph circulated by pro-state accounts as that of Iranian national Muhammad Fateh reportedly killed in North Waziristan appears to show a known figure associated with the Swat Taliban movement.
The same individual has previously appeared in videos released by the outlawed TTP, raising questions over the identification attached to the photograph and the claim that the pictured individual was an Iranian national killed in the operation.
WAR MONITOR has not independently verified the identity or current status of the individual shown in the photograph.
