Pakistan Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud dead: militants
25 august 2009

PESHAWAR, Pakistan – Pakistan Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud died this month after a US missile strike, militant commander Hakimullah confirmed Tuesday, declaring himself the new leader of the militia.

A missile from a US drone aircraft hit the home of Baitullah Mehsud's father-in-law on August 5, and US and Pakistani officials have for weeks been saying they believe the feared warlord was killed.

Taliban officials had until Tuesday denied their leader's demise, as officials and analysts said fierce infighting had broken out among their ranks over who would succeed him as leader of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP).

Disupting the US and Pakistani version of events, the Taliban said Baitullah Mehsud had survived until August 23.

"Baitullah Mehsud was injured in a drone attack and died on Sunday afternoon," Hakimullah Mehsud, a top aide to Baitullah Mehsud, told AFP by telephone from an undisclosed location.

"He remained unconscious after being seriously injured in a drone attack and died on Sunday. Now the shura (meeting of elders) has unanimously appointed me as new amir (head) of Tehreek-e-Taliban," Hakimullah Mehsud said.

You can't handle the truth
he got blown up the moment hellfire missile hit the target. His torso remained while the rest of the nasoor got obliterated into bits. One security official who saw the video said that.
