KP Govt Announces Rs 100 Million Bounty on TTP Commander Kazim

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has announced a Rs 100 million bounty on the head of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Commander Kazim, making him the most wanted militant in the province.

According to government sources, Commander Kazim, a native of Began village in Kurram district, has been marked as a top priority in the province’s counterterrorism efforts.

Bounties on Other TTP Commanders

Apart from Kazim, bounties have also been placed on the following TTP commanders:

  • Mufti Noor Wali Mehsud
  • Khalid Khorasani
  • Shahid Umar

However, the bounty on Kazim is ten times higher than that of the others, signaling the government’s firm stance on eliminating high-profile militants.

Government’s Strategy Against Terrorism

Officials have termed this move as part of a broader counterterrorism policy, aiming to capture or neutralize wanted terrorists through financial incentives.

This decision follows a series of recent security operations and reflects Pakistan’s increasing efforts to curb terrorism in the region.
