New Video from HGB Suicide Commando
New video from Jaish-e-Fursan-e-Muhammad (JFM) features militants training and leader of the sub-faction.
On March 3, 2025, Hafiz Gul Bahadur (HGB) affiliated group published a new episode of its series dedicated to the suicide commando of the Jaish-e-Fursan-e-Muhammad (JFM) sub-faction, al-Hamza Suicide Battalion.
The 12-minute long episode is the fourth one in the series featuring the training and different statements from members of the suicide squad, highlighting their capabilities and commitment to the group’s struggle.
However, this episode is particularly interesting because it features for a brief moment the leader of the sub-faction, Khalid Waziristani. Khalid Waziristani is a prominent leader of HGB and a veteran commander of the war in Afghanistan, enjoining close relations with the so-called Haqqani Network. In the video, he appears while talking to the militants of the al-Hamza Suicide Battalion.
Furthermore, the video also features a member of the battalion who gives a speech in the English language rather than in Pashto. The militant argues that the group is committed to fighting against the state in order to establish an “Islamic government” in Pakistan and to “defend the oppressed ones”.
The majority of the video focuses on the physical and weapons courses held in the Khalid bin Waleed Training Camp, where the al-Hamza Suicide Battalion trains. Clips show militants training with light machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. The majority of the militants use Colt M4A1 carbines and M16A1 rifles previously used in Afghanistan by NATO, and today handled by the special forces of both HGB and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) al-Farooq Training Camp.
For the past two years, HGB has been increasing the number of suicide attacks as well as special operations. Recently, on March 1, HGB claimed a suicide attack carried out in Eidak area of North Waziristan tribal district by Khalid aka Yousuf. Khalid was not a member of the al-Hamza Suicide Battalio; he belonged to another important unit that trains special forces and suicide members of HGB, the Aswadul Harb Suicide Commando, belonging to the Ghaziano Commando. On 26 October 2024, the Aswadul Harb Suicide Commando provided the suicide bomber for a Vehicle Born Suicide Bomb (VBSB) attack in Eidak area, carried out by Yahya.
