Omar Khalid Khorasani (real name: Abdul Wali Mohmand;[1] c. 1977 – 7 August 2022)[2] was a Pakistani militant and one of the founding members of Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). In 2014, he formed his own splinter militant group called Jamaat-ul-Ahrar (JuA) and was ousted by the Mullah Fazlullah-led Taliban.[3] The same year, JuA swore allegiance to Islamic State (ISIS), however, a year later JuA rejoined TTP.[4]
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.[5] His name is also featured in the 'Red Book of Most Wanted High Profile Terrorists' published by Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency.[6] He was killed in a blast caused by a roadside mine on 7 August 2022 in Barmal District, Paktika province, Afghanistan.[7]
