Pakistan on Wednesday said Afghanistan should not allow its soil to be used against it, days after the Pakistani Taliban elected a new chief, who operate from the neighboring country according to Pakistani officials.
Pakistani Taliban's decision to appoint most hard-liner commander Mullah Fazalullah as their new chief is seen as a serious setback for the proposed peace talks with the government.
Pakistani Taliban Thursday appointed Mullah Fazalullah as new chief six days after their chief Hakimullah Mehsud was killed in a U.S. drone strike.
