PESHAWAR: Seven militants were killed in a clash between two warring factions of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan in North Waziristan, Express News reported on Friday.

The dead reportedly include key commanders of the two groups - Shaheryar Mehsud and Waliur Rehman factions - who have been fighting since April.

Yesterday, Ashiqullah Mehsud of Shaheryar Mehsud group was killed in a deadly clash in Mirali tehsil.

Dozens of fighters from both sides have been killed in these clashes. Last week, the Waliur Rehman faction broke away from the TTP, accusing the group of criminality.

The infighting began in South Waziristan Agency and later spread to Tank district and North Waziristan Agency.

@Asad@NYC There nothing as such good. All of them have been at the forefront in killing our loved ones. Once they would kill anyone in IK's family, he would also talk of action against them without any difference.
