WASHINGTON — Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud was killed last week in a CIA drone attack while getting a leg massage on the roof of his father-in-law's house, CNN said Monday, citing an unnamed US official.
A US counterterrorism official told AFP, meanwhile, that "there are strong indications (Mehsud) is dead" following a drone attack.
"No one is expecting him home for dinner tonight," the official said.
US President Barack Obama is being told Mehsud was killed after a "dramatic escalation" of nine unmanned drones specifically targeting the Taliban leader in recent weeks, the US official told CNN television.
On Wednesday night, US surveillance in Pakistan spied a man on the roof of Mehsud's father-in-law's home in South Waziristan.
The description was of a "short, stocky man who was following the physical description" of Mehsud, CNN said, citing the intelligence official.
A woman was massaging the man's leg and the Central Intelligence Agency knew Mehsud had diabetes, experienced pain in his legs, and often sought relief in that way, the report said.

Edited for Alah's consideration:

I wonder if it was a male or female masseuse doing this dirty work. “Come on over and give me a leg massage, you will be paid very well. Go to the roof of the building where I will be waiting.”
