Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad

Radd-ul-Fasaad ({{langx|ur|{{URDU|رد الفساد}}}}) literally means "elimination of strife".{{cite news|title=Pakistan Army launches 'Operation Radd-ul-Fasaad' across the country|url=http://www.dawn.com/news/1316332/pakistan-army-launches-operation-radd-ul-fasaad-across-the-country|access-date=22 February 2017|work=Dawn|date=22 February 2017}} Radd means "rejection". Fasaad is synonymous to the Arabic word Fitna which means "civil strife".{{cite news|last1=Gauhar|first1=Humayun|title=Rejection of discord and disharmony|url=http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2017/02/26/rejection-of-discord-and-disharmony/|access-date=26 February 2017|work=Pakistan Today|quote=They call it, confusingly, 'Raad ul Fasaad' which is better spelt 'Rudd ul Fasad'. 'Raad' (or 'Rudd') means 'rejection' and the Quranic word 'Fasad' means discord and disharmony. So it means, literally, 'Rejection of Discord and Disharmony'. But it's not so simple. You cannot get rid of Fasad without getting rid of 'Fitna' that causes Fasad. 'Fitna' literally mean mischief-maker or mischief-makers.}}

On 29 December 2019, Qari Saifullah Mehsud was shot dead by two unknown gunmen in Khost Province of Afghanistan.{{cite news|url=https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2019/12/30/ttp-leader-saifullah-mehsud-killed-in-afghanistan/|work=Pakistan Today|date=30 December 2019|access-date=30 December 2019|title=TTP leader Saifullah Mehsud killed in Afghanistan|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191230181017/https://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2019/12/30/ttp-leader-saifullah-mehsud-killed-in-afghanistan/|archive-date=30 December 2019|url-status=live}} According to the locals, the two gunmen had been "guests" at the TTP commander's home for several days before they killed him and fled. Qari Saifullah Mehsud was a key Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander and was among the terrorists most wanted to Pakistan for his involvement in several terror attacks in the country. He was notorious for preparing suicide jackets and suicide bombers for terrorist acts and was also the mastermind behind 2015 Karachi bus shooting. According to the Analysts, the killing of Mehsud is a big hit for the TTP as he was trying to unite all the split militant groups. His death was also confirmed by TTP. Mehsud was also previously arrested by U.S. forces in Afghanistan in 2016 but was later released after spending 14 weeks in jail in Afghanistan. Mehsud funeral ceremony and burial took place in Gurbaz district of Khost Province.{{cite news|url=https://www.rferl.org/a/pakistani-taliban-commander-reportedly-killed-in-afghanistan/30352717.html|title=Pakistani Taliban Commander Reportedly Killed in Afghanistan|date=30 December 2019|work=Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL)|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191230165133/https://www.rferl.org/a/pakistani-taliban-commander-reportedly-killed-in-afghanistan/30352717.html|archive-date=30 December 2019}}{{cite news|url=https://www.arabnews.pk/node/1606631/pakistan|title=Pakistani Taliban commander confirmed dead in Afghanistan|work=Arab News|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200104172431/https://www.arabnews.pk/node/1606631/pakistan|archive-date=4 January 2020}}

On 30 January, two senior members of TTP were shot dead by unknown gunmen in Kabul, Afghanistan.{{cite web|url=https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2020/02/pakistani-taliban-says-leading-ideologue-and-comrade-killed-in-clash.php|title=Pakistani Taliban says leading ideologue and comrade killed in clash|date=6 February 2020|work=Long War Journal|author=Thomas Joscelyn}} The deceased were identified to be Sheikh Khalid Haqqani and Qari Saif Younis and their bodies were found in the vicinity of Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-51356940|title=Kabul Taliban: Spies, militants and a mysterious assassination|date=7 February 2020|publisher=BBC News}} Sheikh Khalid Haqqani held key position in the TTP leadership council, and formerly served as the group's deputy leader. He was accused of being involved in several high-profile attacks on Pakistani politicians and an attack on school in Peshawar in 2014. Qari Saif Younis was a military commander in TTP and directed suicide operations. According to one militant source, the men were planning to hold a secret "meeting" in Kabul, on the direct orders of the group's leadership, apparently travelling from the eastern Afghan province of Paktika. The militants did not reveal who they were planning on meeting. Both the TTP members were killed on 30 January, however, their death was confirmed on 7 February by the TTP leadership. The TTP leadership had initially ordered the news to be kept "secret", partly as they were rattled by the assassinations, and partly to avoid awkward questions about why the men were in the city.

The statement from TTP said that the two men were killed in clashes with the United States troops. However, the sources within the group also acknowledged that it was also possible that gunmen or militants linked to Pakistani intelligence services were responsible for the assassination. The bodies of the men killed in Kabul were handed over to the group, and a large funeral was held for them on Monday in their stronghold in eastern Kunar province.
