TTP chief Hakimullah Mehsud killed in drone strike

PESHAWAR (Pakistan) Jan. 15, 2012 – Tehreek-i-Taliban (TTP) leader Hakimullah Mehsud was killed in a drone strike on Thursday. According to US media reports, Mehsud `might have been killed’ in a drone strike that took place on January 12 in Datta Khel area of Miranshah, North Waziristan, that had targeted a vehicle, killing six people.

Pakistani intelligence officials said they had intercepted militant radio communications indicating that the Pakistani Taliban’s leader may have been killed. They intercepted wireless radio chatter between Taliban fighters detailing how Hakimullah Mehsud was killed while travelling in a convoy to a meeting in the North Waziristan tribal region near the Afghan border.

“Six to seven TTP members were talking to each other through wireless radio in the conversations we heard, talking about Hakimullah Mehsud being hit by a drone when he was heading to a meeting at a spot near Miranshah.”

Video shows Shahzad meeting Hakimullah Mehsud

The video that has now emerged shows a man who appears to be Shahzad shaking hands with Mehsud and then embracing him. The footage features an audio track of Shahzad.

“Today, along with the leader of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan Hakimullah Mehsud and under the command of Amir al-Mumineen Mullah Mohammed Omar Mujahid (may Allah protect him), we are planning to wage an attack on your side, inshallah”.

Hakimullah in TTP video of Colonel Imam’s killing

KARACHI (Dawn) Feb. 19, 2011 – The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Hakimullah Mehsud appeared in a video obtained by DawnNews of the killing of former ISI official Sultan Amir Tarar alias Colonel Imam.

Colonel Imam had gone missing on March 25 last year along with another former ISI official, Khalid Khwaja, and a British journalist of Pakistan origin, Asad Qureshi, while they were going from Kohat to North Waziristan. Sultan Amir Tarar was believed to have a key role in the growth of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan.

Earlier, on April 30, 2010, Khalid Khwaja was found dead near a stream in Karam Kot, about seven kilometres south of North Waziristan’s main town of Mirali. A note attached to his body said he was with the CIA and the ISI. The disappearance of the three men had created ripples in the official circles because the purpose of their visit was not clear.

The fissures among the militants were laid bare in February, when Mehsud released a gruesome video that confirmed the shooting death of former Pakistani spy Sultan Amir Tarar, better known as Col. Imam, according to a senior Pakistan army officer who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject.

As Pakistan’s consul general in Afghanistan’s Kandahar province during the Taliban’s rule, Imam was the conduit for money and weapons to the religious movement. A former Pakistani intelligence officer, Imam met regularly with Afghan Taliban’s reclusive leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar. Imam was known to have kept contact with leading Taliban in hiding in Pakistan since the US-led coalition ousted them from power in Afghanistan in 2001.

Mehsud’s group had held Imam for 10 months. The killing confounded Pakistani military officials. They had long believed the Haqqanis held sway over the myriad of groups — including militants from Uzbekistan, Chechnya and the Middle East — operating in North Waziristan.
