Taliban’s Suicide squad commander’s killing confirmed
Asia Despatch Report
After much mystery about his death, at last asiadespatch.com can confirm the death of dreaded Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan suicide squad chief Qari Hussain Mehsud alias Qari Sahib despite the persistent denial by TTP high-ups in a US Drone strike last year. He was targeted by a US Drone in October last year in Mirali, North Waziristan where a secret meeting was underway between him and some German Jihadis about the future strategies of Al-Qaeda and TTP nexus in Europe. Sources within Taliban told us on condition of anonymity, “We couldn’t announce his death in order to avoid a possible downturn of morale within our ranks as we were in preparation to take on security forces in Mehsud inhabited South Waziristan.” He was among the founding members of Tehrik-e-Taliban, ran his group suicide squad and was commonly known in militants’ ranks as “Ustad-e-Fidayeen” (trainer of the suicide bombers). The description was also written with large white stones on the hill top behind his stone house in Kotkai, South Waziristan, when a AD team visited his camp in March last year. When asked about the possible drone attack, he laughingly said (even as predators loomed overhead) “I have no option but to remain fearless as my mission is to kill or to be killed”. He was among the top 3 most wanted persons for Pakistan law enforcement agencies with a price on his head of Rs50 million. Before launching operation, “Rahe-e-Nejat” (the Path to Salvation) by Pakistan army against TTP’s South Waziristan chapter he was the Amir (leader) of Kotakai and Spinkai Raghzai divisions of South Waziristan Agency. Then he fled the area and was given refuge by Hafiz Gul Bahider linked militants in the second largest division of neighboring North Waziristan, Mirali. Qari Mehsud was considered a mastermind for orchestrating almost all the suicide attacks across Pakistan and was a cousin of current TTP chief Hakimullah Mehsud. US authorities blacklisted him too under its Executive Order 13224, for allegedly training forged CIA spook, a Jordanian doctor, Humam Muhammad Abu Mulal al-Balawi and organizing the December 30, 2009 attack on CIA camp in Khost, Afghanistan which killed seven agency officials including its station chief. US authorities have also accused him of indoctrinating and launching 2010 Times Square car bomb plotter, Faisal Shahzad. After the demise of the founder and leader of TTP, Baitullah Mehsud, this will be viewed as a second devastating blow to TTP inflicted by US. Despite launching a number of operations across north western Pakistan, Pakistani security forces have always failed to hunt down or kill TTP top leadership. On several occasions, Qari Mehsud’s death was announced by Pakistani authorities but latterly all these claims were proven wrong. Once he was even proclaimed dead by influential Pakistani interior minister Rahman Malik in an intra-Taliban vendetta over the designation of the successor of Baitullah Mehsud but later Qari contacted local media outlets and termed the news as fake.
