Big news coming out from #Afghanistan:

Reportedly the United States has killed Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. Still, it remains unclear where and when he was killed.

#Ayman_Al_Zawahiri #Al_Qaeda
It remains unclear where precisely was #Al_Qaeda chief targeted; however, some accounts claim he perished in a drone strike in #Kabul on Sunday. There are also reports of him being targeted in central Wardak province.

Zawahiri comes from a well-established Egyptian family.
#Al_Zawahiri was a doctor by profession and was accused of overthrowing the Egyptian government in 1980. He was imprisoned in 1981 on the charges of assassinating then Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. His last videotaped message was released in April 2022. #Al_Qaeda #Kabul
President Joe Biden is likely to briefly address Americans at 7:30pm D.C timing. #Alyman_Al_Zawahiri was one of the masterminds of the 9/11 attacks. He was also known to be Osma Bin Laden's personal physician.
Multiple contradictory reports are coming out of #Kabul. Some unconfirmed reports suggest that a close relative of Sirajuddin Haqqani, serving as the Minister of Interior Affairs of IEA, was also killed in the US drone strike. President Biden to share more details in 30 mint.
“Justice has been delivered, and this feared terrorist [Ayman Al Zawahiri] is no more,” said President Biden in his keynote address to the nation. “None of Zawahiri’s family members were hurt with no civilian casualties.” #Kabul
American media reported that Zawahiri’s family, including his daughter and her children were present in the house at the time of the strike but they were intentionally not targeted. They remained unharmed. 

The US officials described it a “precise tailored airstrike.”
The strike was launched at 9:48pm EST on July 30.
Also, multiple accounts say the building where Al-Qaeda chief was residing is owned by Sirajuddin Haqqani. It is being claimed Haqqani’s son & son-in-law also died in the strike. However, neither Biden nor any other US security officials had mentioned this. #Kabul

یہ حادثہ تھا کہ نہیں اس بات کا تعین کرنا اور BRAS کے دعووں کی تصدیق کرنا اب زیادہ مشکل ہوگیا ہے لیکن لسبیلہ سے ایک معتبر صحافی نے مجھے بتایا کہ انہیں ہیلی کاپٹر کے ملبے کی فلم بندی کرنے کی اجازت نہیں دی گئی اور میڈیا کو بھی ملبے کے آس پاس جانے کی اجازت نہیں تھی۔ #HelicopterCrash
سوشل میڈیا پر گردش کرنے والے ہیلی کاپٹر کے ملبے کی تصاویر ممکنہ طور پے جعلی ہیں۔ لسبیلہ کے صحافیوں کے مطابق عین مقام پر میڈیا کو جانے کی اجازت نہیں تھی تاہم 500 میٹر کے فاصلے سے انہوں نے ریسکیو آپریشن کی فلم بندی کی۔ جہاں ہیلی گرا تھا اُس سائٹ کو مکمل گھیرے میں لے لیا گیا تھا
تاہم، جائے وقوعہ پر پہنچنے والے مقامی رضاکاروں کا کہنا ہے کہ وہ ابتدائی طور پر ہیلی کاپٹر کے ملبے کو دیکھنے میں کامیاب رہے ہیں بعد ازاں ممکنہ طور پر تحقیقات کے لیے علاقے کو گھیرے میں لے لیا گیا۔ یاد رہے آئی ایس پی آر کا کہنا ہے کہ ابتدائی تحقیقات سے معلوم ہوا ہے حادثہ

What is #BRAS? A Thread

1- The #Baloch Rajji Ajoi Sangar or the Baloch Nation Liberation Coalition is the umbrella organization of four ethnic Baloch separatist groups in #Balochistan and Sindh.

#HelicopterCrash
2- The primary members’ organizations included Balochistan Liberation Front, Baloch Liberation Army, Baloch Republication Guard, and Baloch Republican Army.

BRA and BRG later merged and formed Baloch Nationalist Army (BNA) in January 2022.
3- However, BRAS itself was created on 10th November 2018. In the summer of 2020, a group of Sindhi nationalists, Sindhudesh Revolutionary Army (SRA), joined the BRAS alliance. The primary reason for forming BRAS was to erase the differences among Baloch militant groups and

لسبیلہ ضلعی انتظامیہ کے ایک اہلکار کا کہنا ہے کہ ہیلی کاپٹر کے ملبے کی تلاش اب بھی جاری ہے لیکن سہولیات نہ ہونے کی وجہ سے امدادی کارروائیوں میں رکاوٹ پیش آرہی۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ کراچی سے ہیلی کاپٹر کا ملبہ ملنے کی اطلاعات سامنے آئی جس کے متعلق ضلعی انتظامیہ کو کوئی علم نہیں ہے۔
انتظامیہ کے مطابق جس علاقے میں ہیلی کاپٹر گرنے کا امکان ہے وہ "سخت پہاڑی اور دشوار علاقہ" ہے۔

انہوں نے کہا مقامی رضاکار اور پولیس ٹیم لاپتہ ہیلی کواپٹر کو تلاش کرنے نے صبح دوبارہ روانہ ہوۓ ہیں-

نیٹ ورک اور دیگر سہولیات نہ ہونے کی وجہ سے سرچ ٹیموں کو شدید مشکلات کا سامنا ہے۔
لاپتہ ہیلی کاپٹر کی تلاش کے لیے ابھی فضائی آپریشن شروع کیا گیا ہے۔

فضائی آپریشن ضلع لسبیلہ کے مغرب میں دریجی میں شروع کیا گیا ہے۔ قریب ہی ایک ندی ریسکیو آپریشن میں رکاوٹ بن رہی تھی جسکی وجہ سے فضائی آپریشن شروع کیا گیا-

Who is to be blamed for bad governance, poor law & order, abduction for ransom, & corruption in #Balochistan?

Must watch this new video of @MHidayatRehman, the face of a new resistance movement often rattling paramilitary frontier corps.

Maulana vs @AQuddusBizenjo
Part II:“I understand that if there is intense hatred against the state of Pakistan in #Balochistan, Frontier Corps (FC) is to be blamed for that, not RAW [referring to Indian Intelligence Agency]. FC is the enemy of #Balochistan as well as the state of Pakistan,” @MHidayatRehman
Maulana also accuses Mr. Bizenjo, the chief minister, of being abnormal. He claimed Mr. Bizenjo awakes during the night & sleeps during the day.

“A person who sleeps all day & awakes at night is not normal. It looks like he is abnormal, and there are some reasons behind that.”

1- Thread in response to Hamna Malik of #VOB

I read Hamna's Twitter thread multiple times. I understood that all she did was she tried to prove herself innocent, gain sympathy, and lay the blame for all the wrongdoings on Aamna Khaloon and previous management.
2- She wrote: "I get to bear the brunt most of the time but [because] of mere confusion. I'm not responsible for previous management."

Does that mean she agrees previous management has been involved in unfair practices?
3- Still, my questions remain the same!
What exactly is your organization? Are you an NGO/Newspaper or magazine?
Without registration until March 2021, how did your org receive funds from the @dpr_gob ?
If you are clean and haven't been involved in the misuse of public money,
