KARACHI: Afghan Taliban are shielding Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Noor Wali, Gul Bahadur, Bashir Zeb and other wanted militants from Central Asian states inside the Green Zone of Kabul (including Wazir Akbar Khan area), diplomatic sources told Geo News anchor Hamid Mir.

The sources claimed that presence of these wanted people near the residence of diplomats may invite deep trouble and that is why many foreign diplomats may leave Kabul soon, Hamid Mir wrote on social media platform, X. “Presence of Internationally declared terrorists is unacceptable even for the UN staff and some NGOs in Kabul. They registered their concerns with Taliban regime,” the sources added. Security sources have confirmed this development.
