Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud may have been killed in a U.S. drone attack, a U.S. official said Friday.

"There's reason to believe Mehsud may be dead, but there's no confirmation at this time," the official said.

Mehsud's second wife was killed early Wednesday in a suspected U.S. drone attack, according to intelligence sources and relatives.

The unmanned aerial vehicle targeted the home of Mehsud's father-in-law, Mulvi Ikram ud Din, and dropped two missiles on the residence in northwestern Pakistan, an intelligence official said.

Mehsud's second wife was one of two people killed in the strike, according to the sources. Four others were wounded, they said.

DNA testing is going on. U.S. is 95% certain he’s toast. Obama’s muslim handlers must not be pleased.

Well I hope they got him, but I’ll wait for the confirmation Jimbo.

I’ve watched a “dead guy” for sure was killed at least 6 times...others 2 or 3 times.
