KABUL: Afghanistan has refused to hand over senior Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander Maulvi Faqir Mohammad as Islamabad requested his extradition following his capture by Afghan forces.
Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar had taken up the handing over of Faqir Mohammad during a phone conversation with her Afghan counterpart Zalmai Rassoul on Wednesday night but Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman Janan Musazai ruled out his extradition.
The Taliban commander was captured by Afghan intelligence operatives in the eastern part of Afghanistan on Monday.
During a weekly news briefing yesterday, Pakistan Foreign Office spokesman Moazzam Khan had said: "We hope that he would be handed over to Pakistan as soon as possible because he has the blood of many innocent Pakistanis on his hands."
