A senior Pakistani Taliban commander has been shot dead in a militant stronghold near the Afghan border, security sources and relatives say.
Asmatullah Shaheen was ambushed as he drove through a village near Miranshah in North Waziristan, reports said. Two others in the vehicle also died.
It is unclear who killed them. There has been no word from the militants.
Shaheen was briefly the Pakistani Taliban interim leader after its chief Hakimullah Mehsud was killed last year.
