An infighting has been reported between the two groups of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in wake of the Peshawar mosque attack.
One of the factions is of the view that the attack on worshipers is prohibited, reports said, adding that the violent clash left eight terrorists including 4 main commanders dead.
More than 100 people embraced martyrdom when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a mosque in Peshawar Police Lines a couple of weeks ago. The bombing left a trail of destruction.
A spokesperson for the TTP distanced the group from the mosque massacre, saying they never go for targeting innocent worshipers and desecration of the Holy Quran.
