On March 8, a US drone struck a hideout of the militants in Kunar province of Afghanistan and killed 21 suspected militants from the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), including a son of its chief Mulla Fazlullah.
Most of the dead belong to the Swat district of Pakistan – the home town of Fazlullah.
