It was supposed to happen sooner or later”, said his tweet.Khorasani added that it was not like a true Muslim to do or say such things.“Before blaming someone for a ‘reaction’ one should first look at his own actions”, said he.Omar Khalid also known as Omar Khalid Khorasani is the commander of outlawed TTP in Mohmand Agency.
