dismissed those reports, saying Mansour's body was yet to be handed over to anyone.
"According to the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Mansour was traveling under a fake identity," said Sartaj Aziz. "It has been confirmed that it was Mullah Mansour who was killed in the drone strike. We are still waiting for DNA test results of the body, and the body will not be given to anyone until the DNA results are received."
Aziz further said that Mansour's killing had proven to be a setback for talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government, and for peace in the region as a whole.
"Drone strikes have added to the complexity of the Afghan conflict," he said.
Regarding the drone strike, Sartaj Aziz said that Pakistain had protested over the attack to the US, and that it was also raising the issue in the United Nations
