This is a critical juncture for the Pakistani security forces and the political leaders. The death of Baitullah Mehsud is an opportunity to make inroads in the Waziristan area. Now there is no bigwig present right now to lead the TTP. Fazlullah of Swat is injured and as his gang has been destroyed and disbanded [...]
It was quite astonishing and shocking for the security forces when couple of months ago they stopped Shah Abdul Aziz, a letter from Baitullah Mehsud was present in his car and he was travelling with a known terrorist.

Right now Pakistani establishment is hard at work in propping up Qari Zainuddin Mehsud against the chief terrorist of Tehreek-e-Taliban (TTP) Baitullah Mehsud. Qari Zainuddin is busily trying to gather support against Baitullah, and establishment is helping him in this regard.
