2. Previous Function: 18 militants were killed in a skirmish between fighters loyal to Bilal Zadran, a senior commander of Haqqani Network and followers of Abid Hunar, a mid-level commander of the Haqqani Network. Fierce clash between the two groups erupted when Bilal Zadran fighters encircled the base of Abid Hunar in Gomal area of Afghanistan. 15 fighters of Bilal Zadran group and 3 fighters of Abid Hunar group were killed. According to Sailab Mehsud, the main reason for this standoff between the two militant groups of Haqqani network was Abid Hunar’s refusal to accept Mullah Akhatar Mansur as the legitimate head of the Afghan Taliban.(20160209)
