Mangal Bagh flees to Afghanistan: Ansarul Islam

Banned organisation Ansarul Islam on Sunday claimed that the leader of their rival group Lashkar-e-Islam, Mangal Bagh, has fled to Afghanistan.

Addressing a press conference in Peshawar, Ansarul Islam spokesperson Qari Mehboob said that Mangal Bagh has fled the country with the aid of Amin Shah Shinwar.



Shinwar is a notorious drug leader and the chief financer of banned organisation Lashkar-e-Islam.

Mehboob also demanded that the government arrest Bagh and put him to trial in accordance with the law.

The Ansarul Islam had recently shook hands with another militant group, the Zakhakhel tribe, in efforts to defeat Bagh.
