He had fled to Waziristan after the attack on Sri Lankan cricket team in which seven policemen were killed and seven players including Mahela Jayawaredene, Kumar Sangakkara, Ajantha Mendis, Thilan Samaraweera, Tharanga Paranavitana and Chaminda Vaas were injured. Ajmal was associated with Hakimullah Mehsood, the chief of the outlawed Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), who was killed in November 2013. He later fled to Afghanistan like many other Pakistani militants and had been living with Mehsud Taliban in Paktika province bordering Pakistan.
Ajmal is the second senior Pakistani militant commander to have been killed in Afghanistan in nearly two weeks. On September 25, leading Pakistani Taliban commander Azam Tariq and his son were killed in Paktika. Tribal sources say that the foreign and Afghan forces also arrested Naseer Waeer, a senior Taliban commander of Hakikmullah group during the operation in Paktika.
