The leader of the Pakistani Taliban, Hakimullah Mehsud, has been killed in a drone strike, a high-ranking Taliban official has told the BBC.

The strike targeted a vehicle used by Mehsud with four missiles in the north-western region of North Waziristan.

Four other people were killed in the strike, including two of Mehsud's bodyguards, intelligence sources say.

Several previous claims of his death, made by US and Pakistani intelligence sources, have proven untrue.

Pakistan's government has issued a statement strongly condemning the drone attack, saying such strikes were a "violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and territorial integrity".

Friday's strike targeted Mehsud's vehicle in the Dande Darpakhel, some 5km (3miles) north of the region's main town, Miranshah.

A senior US intelligence official told the Associated Press that the US received positive confirmation on Friday morning that he had been killed.

However, a spokesperson for the US National Security Council said that "we are not in a position to confirm those reports, but if true, this would be serious loss for the... Taliban".

BBC diplomatic correspondent James Robbins says that however weakened the Taliban may be by this loss, they will fight on under a new leader.

Hakimullah Mehsud had come to prominence in 2007 as a commander under the militant group's founder Baitullah Mehsud, with the capture of 300 Pakistani soldiers adding to his prestige among the militants.

In January 2010 he gained further notoriety when he appeared in a video alongside a Jordanian who is said to have blown himself up, killing seven CIA agents in Afghanistan to avenge Baitullah Mehsud's death.

Hakimullah Mehsud had a $5m FBI bounty on his head and was thought to be responsible for the deaths of thousands of people.

Mehsud became leader of the Pakistani Taliban in 2009, aged 30, after Baitullah Mehsud died in a US drone strike at his father-in-law's residence in South Waziristan.

So apparently Hakimullah Mehsud was going to start peace negotiations with the Pakistani government.
So US decision makers were either oblivious, not believed hie's serious, calculated it's better to kill him or didn't want substantial peace talks to take place.


And what is achieved by this?

He ripped apart the region with suicide bombing promoting Islamism in Afghanistan and Pakistan..

There is no such thing as the taliban. They are just a group of different clans and organizations.
And as a leader he coulnt have organized that, since he had 30 groups under his comand.
The only suicide attack connected to him was that he met a Jordanian who later blew himself to avenge someone and thus killed some CIA agents :P

Not true. We assisted Afghans in their struggle against the Soviets. Some of these people later went on to form the Taliban.

After the Peshawar Accord, a bunch of different groups began fighting for control of Afghanistan. The hardcore Islamist groups were funded by Pakistan, Iran and Saudi Arabia. The Taliban itself was the creation of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence and didn't even exist until the 1990s (and the overwhelming majority of the original Taliban fighters were actually Pakistani volunteers). America backed the Northern Alliance in its fight against the Taliban.

What? North Korea would totally decimate Pakistan.
Look at North Korea's population with less than 25 million, now Pakistan's population which is 160 million+...


Pakistan is not a threat to the US when it comes to total war. You haven't seen anything yet. Perhaps the arrogant Islamic countries need to be taught a lesson by America, Europe and Russia. Nukes on Mecca, Islamabad and Jakarta would do the trick.
As I've said, Pakistan's military will be the strongest, the US has fought in years, with it's large conventional force and powerful nuclear deterrence, plus, counting all of Pakistan's prime allies, Iran, China, North Korea, why don't you think the US has already invaded Iran? because it doesn't have the capability to do so...

Yeah, nukes on cities and killing innocent people is great, I remember Baghdad was bombed to the ground and it followed incidents like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse...

It is. Your argument isn't.

Again, this is Israeli arrogance and "superiority complex", I think there was a joint plan by Israel and India to destroy Pakistan's Kahuta Nuclear research plant, why hadn't it done so? because Pakistan was militarily strong enough, plus protected under China's umbrella...

Are you serious? Pakistan doesn't have any nuclear capability to threaten America. Their limited nukes can't even reach it. But the US has intercontinental ballistic missiles that could massacre 100 million Pakistanis in a few days.

The term "superiority complex" was coined by Alfred Adler, a Jewish psychologist. Superior indeed :lol:.
Don't project. So Pakistan is strong and big dicked. I'm sure that makes you very happy.

China won't be on Pakistan's side. China's economy depends heavily on America. We spend billions and billions of dollars each year buying the cheap, plastic crap that they export to us and they've bought a ton of our debt. If they declared war, those exports would come to a grinding halt and we'd likely tell them to fuck off about ever getting paid back for those loans. Their economy would quickly go down the toilet and then they'd get to fight a war against the most powerful nation to ever exist.

And we do have the ability to invade Iran, but the public won't stand for it at this point in time. We've grown weary of pointless, world-saving wars.

That was a big mistake. America should have given Afghanistan to the Soviets. It would have been a much better country under communism.

I had a good laugh at your comment. I tell you what Loki; get on the phone and tell whichever country you want, to come take over it... ;)

The most dangerous threat to the peace on the world has to be eradicated at its core, actually. And that's not in Pakistan.

These drone attacks are quite useless IMO. Kill 1 taliban, make 10 more join and many more sympathize with them. I mean, who wouldn't get pissed off when a missile from the sky hits ones village and kills ones friends/relatives? :lol:


Should just stay away from countries like these, it's of no use to be there, costs money and lives(I only care for the NATO personel), and radicalisation has only intesified since Western intervention in the region. It's doomed to continue being a shithole for a long time.
