thats what they claimed about Baitullah. Lets hope the report of his death is true. Although these drones are tragically taking lives of some innocent people, but at the same time it is doing something good by killing the Taliban leaders.

Well the latest news is coming that hakeemullah may be alive, but the commander he had appointed for Orakzai Agency has been killed.

So may be here the mix up happened, the death of the TTP Orakzai commander taken as the death of hakeemullah.

But news still coming in, so will be clear in a few days time.

Oops, thats kindda sad. The repurcussions could be very huge.


Meanwhile, " Maulana Toofan " will have to wait for a while for his turn.

Well its the Toofan guy, who is believed to have been killed, as he was the TTP Orakzai Commander appointed by Hakeemullah.

News items saying he died in a vehicle accident, but current operations going on, it can be safely assumed that if he in reality dead, it was done by the security forces, but for protecting morale TTP won't accept that.

Intelligence official: US believes Mehsud is dead

By MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer Matt Apuzzo, Associated Press Writer – 39 mins ago

WASHINGTON – U.S. counterterrorism officials believe Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud is dead following a missile attack last month, a senior intelligence official said Wednesday in the strongest signal that Washington has offered about the militant's fate.

Neither Pakistan nor the U.S. has officially confirmed the death of Mehsud, who commands an al-Qaida-allied movement that is blamed for scores of suicide bombings and is suspected in a deadly attack on a CIA base in Afghanistan late last year.

Mehsud's death would be the latest successful strike against suspected terrorists by the U.S. and its allies. The U.S. has recently stepped up attacks from unmanned aircraft in Pakistan, and a closer collaboration with Yemen has led to recent airstrikes there. President Barack Obama highlighted the increasing success of such attacks in his State of the Union address last week.

The U.S. intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters, said the conclusion that Mehsud is dead represents the best collective information of U.S. intelligence agencies. Since the attack, authorities have said they were growing increasingly confident Mehsud was dead. The official would not say what evidence the U.S. had gathered.

The statement came after days of posturing by Pakistani Taliban officials, who first said they would prove their leader was alive and well, then reversed course and said they saw no need to prove it.

The attack by a U.S. drone came after Mehsud appeared in a video alongside the Jordanian suicide bomber who killed seven CIA employees at a remote base in Afghanistan. The bomber, Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, said he carried out the attack in retribution for the death of former Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud in a U.S. drone strike last August.

Baitullah Mehsud's death gave leadership of the Pakistani Taliban to his deputy, Hakimullah Mehsud, a 28-year-old with a reputation as a particularly ruthless militant.

He has taken responsibility for a wave of brazen strikes inside Pakistan, including the bombing of the Pearl Continental hotel in the northwestern city of Peshawar last June and the attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore earlier that year. There is a $590,000 bounty on his head.

U.S. drones are piloted remotely and can be controlled from local bases or from the United States. Though the program is officially a secret, the attacks are well publicized. They are Washington's only known military response to al-Qaida and Taliban militants along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.

David Ignatius has offered this very interesting column purporting that Qari Hussein, the TTP's top suicide bomb recruiter/manufacturer may also have gotten whacked.

In sum, his column suggests that the recent spat of HELLFIRE attacks comes with a decided Pakistani ISI flavor-
