Baitullah Mehsud Dead : It’s Confirmed
By Haris Hashmi • Aug 7th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 14 CommentsTehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan is in shambles and it is likely that three or four splinter groups would appear as the shoora of the TTP is trying to find out the successor of thier killed leader Baitullah Mehsud. Multiple sources are confirming the death of the chief terrorist.
U.S. officials believe there is a “strong indication” that Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud was killed by a CIA drone strike, ABC News reported Thursday night. Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said intelligences reports stated that Taliban leader Baitullah Mahsud has been killed in drone attack in Waziristan on Wednesday. Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said intelligences reports stated that Taliban leader Baitullah Mahsud has been killed in drone attack in Waziristan on Wednesday.
In the past, couple of times such reports have emerged but they were very weak and did’nt live much long. This very news of Baitullah death has only been made public after verifying for two days, and Pakistani government, US officials, NATO and the media sources in the Waziristan and Oarakzai Agency are pretty much sure that Baitullah is no more.

Well Done United States, well done Musharraf and Zardari!
Hail Drone attacks!
Well done US-PAK forces, for bringing to justice this most wanted terrorist in Pakistan ! Long live US-Pak Strategic Alliance! United We Stand!
The drones are really doing wonders in our war on terror!
Good riddance
FM of ISPR is doing its job well.Who saw the baitullah meshud live and now his deadbody.
Salute to media power which is being used to impress the world that along with all artillery movement of Pak army it is only US drones which could ultimately kill the most wanted state terrorists like rat of cave.So lesson learning example for all who wants to be paid terrorists of ISI.Poor wife whose married life started in cave and ended in cave with her most wanted robinson curiso of ISI.
@4 Highly obnoxious and simply intolerable comments on our prestigious state institutions!
No, it is highly polite and simply tolerable way of telling the truth on the wrong doings of our should- be prestigious institution of state.
@4 and ridiculous comment as well!
I wonder why some people always try to ‘invent’ the dark side of the picture, even if there isn’t any and try to stupefy us with their rumors. Eternally dissatisfied people!
where is rumor in @4?
all are real events. just announcing by our ISPR and its essence is like that our intelligence and army couldnt find this behtul mesud for last 5 months of war games in which we had moved millions of our people from their home under heavy attacks on them and terrorists and then how accurately US drones killed mehsud in his home enjoying dinner with his wife.
So if we primarily used this technology with our all time air raiders of our borders then hope that IDPS would not have been moved and lived in pathetic conditions in front of whole world.
do you even know how important role the ‘on-the-ground intelligence’ plays in accurate drone strikes?
Please don’t try to twist facts here. The terrorists had literally occupied Swat region and that is why the army had to move in to regain control of our territory.This they accomplished with a high degree of professionalism. If the army hadn’t taken action, your dear “IDPS” might still be languishing under Taliban terrorist rule, who remorselessly beheaded men and women on a daily basis. How can one forget the atrocities of the terrorists? So please don’t twist the facts and accept reality as it is; whether you like it or not is a matter of your personal preference!
Baitullah Mehsud (Pakistan’s no.1 enemy) is dead but what we do with other BaitUllahs such as Nawaz Sharif, Shabaz Sharif, Qazi Hussain, Imran Khan, Aitazaz, Iftikhar, Zardari, Shahid Masood, Kamran Khan, Kashif Abbasi, Ansar Abbasi, Talat Hussain, Hamid Mir, Geo TV, Aaj, Ary and Jang Publications.
Aey Allah In sab dushmanon sey bhi Pakistan ko nejat dila.
@9:
What facts are you talking about? The fact that Taliban not reached Swat in 1 night… the fact that Musharraf used them as a fear for western world and to save his seat… the fact that Bait Ullah Mehsud was initailly launched by same fear spreader group and when he become threat for themselves then they cried in front of USA to please kill him… the fact that Taliban is a creation of ISI and Army… the fact that our dictators sold our people to USA for $5000 each… the fact that Mushraf has ran away from country like a jackal.
Come on.. I had reservations about these Icons since first day that these are creation of our own government. How it is possible that Taliban is doing big big meetings to select the next leader of their group but government is unable to trace their positions… but people knows where they are right now.
Brother, in Swat, Musharaf play a lot.. It is not me.. it is whole Swat said that Army and Taliban are same and victims are only poor civilians. Dont try to put sand in the eyes of people.., people are intelligent enough now. I wander how Taliban grew so large in Swat valley. I saw every place of valley but really still thinks that how they were allow to grow and grow. How it was possible without Musharf willingness…
AOM shanti AOM is back with character name. He is one of the other commentors on this blog. Literally he dont have enough courage to show his actual face.
Shame on people like you and those who always hides behind bushes. If you dont have enough courage then better to shut your mouth.

on ground intelligence what is this and what is its importance in our land and people?
It is intelligence that after 12 and 13 attacks, one attack is announced as successful operation and others are accounted on the circle of practicing war exercise for NATO forces on our ground people.
Why this intelligence only activated as we see in our Pakistani movies, the police comes at the end to rescue heroine when all mess or film ends.This was same mehsud who regularly visited ISI HQ in peshwar, Islamabad and sargodha too under state protections. so its good to waste one more character of ISI breed so that bhutto murder trial that cost its poor nation 50 m dollar inquiry, will end with conclusions that bhutto killer is dead now
brave bgdr cheema on your in time investigation in two days of her murder so enjoy your luxurious flat in dubai with business venture on such high intelligence report proved correct by US drones.
zardari will be surely a happy man that how US helped him to make him clean man again

The eishq cant be hidden and same aishaq cant keep a low profile for his love to his all time lover.We need little investigation techniques to know him and we can do it very easily.But as it is his personal matter to show diversity of his love styles so we cant interfere in his personal matters and let him to enjoy his love affairs but one thing is very common in his love that all his lovers are like runaway brides who took no time to leave his land and him in unfavorable conditions.So he is already hurt and touchy in this matter and we should avoid to hurt him more.
