Pak seeks extradition of outlawed TTP chief Mullah Fazlullah

Pakistan has reportedly sought extradition of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Mullah Fazlullah from Afghanistan and elimination of militant sanctuaries in Kunar and Nooristan provinces.

The Express Tribune reports the request for the extradition of Pakistan's most wanted man was made by Mahmood Khan Achakzai on behalf of the Prime Minister in a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul on Wednesday.

The report said Pakistan's foreign office confirmed that Achakzai, accompanied by foreign secretary Aizaz Ahmed Chaudhry, visited Afghanistan as a special envoy of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, to seek Kabul's cooperation in eliminating terrorism.

Soon after Achakzai's visit to Kabul, Afghan President Karzai spoke with Sharif over the phone and discussed the anti-terror cooperation between the two neighbours.

A statement issued from Karzai's office said that the Pakistani Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif was in agreement with all parts of an Afghan that both countries should jointly fight with all terrorists, the report said.
