Omar Khalid Khorasani

Omar Khalid Khorasani (real name: Abdul Wali Mohmand; c. 1977 – 7 August 2022) was a Pakistani national, a terrorist wanted by Pakistan and the United States and one of the founding members of the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) terrorist organisation. In 2014, he formed his own splinter militant group called Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA) and was ousted by the Mullah Fazlullah-led Taliban. The same year, JuA swore allegiance to Islamic State (ISIS), however, a year later JuA rejoined TTP.

On 7 March 2018, Khorasani was added to the U.S. State Department's Rewards for Justice wanted list with a bounty up to $3 million. His name is also featured in the 'Red Book of Most Wanted High Profile Terrorists' published by Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency. He was killed in a blast caused by a roadside mine on 7 August 2022 in Barmal District, Paktika province, Afghanistan.
