Who is Noor Wali Mehsud? The TTP chief behind the Afghanistan-Pakistan conflict

Even after signing a 48-hour ceasefire on October 15, tensions have remained high between Pakistan and Afghanistan with the former accusing the latter of harbouring Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on its soil, a charge that has been consistently denied by Kabul.
