Taliban supremo Hakeemullah Mehsud was killed, state television said here on Sunday.
Hakeemullah Mehsud has been buried in a graveyard at Mamondzai area of Orakzai tribal region.
Mehsud was injured in a drone attack in Shaktoi area on January 14 and was succumbed to his injuries three days later, reports said.
Hakeemullah Mehsud was named the new chief of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan after death of Baitullah Mehsud who was also killed in a drone strike in tribal areas.
‘Hakimullah’s likely successor also killed’

Maybe all we knew was that the succesoor was at this camp and decided to take out as many as we could....that will give them some trouble.
The Pakistani ISA must be real pissed off.
(Words about some event)....which fuels anti-American sentiment... (some more words about the event).
The Presstitute just couldn't resist inserting the same old boilerplate statement.
Probably pops up as a default, required entry, in the word processor he/she uses to write an article about any issue relating even remotely to the war.
I’ve not heard of it before.
Doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened previously.
Again it must have been a high value target.
Must have been pretty high value.
the volley of strikes reportedly struck militant hideouts and a training centre in three places in the villageThanks Ernest for the ping and NormsRevenge for posting it.
That’s what I figured.
It seems that there is always an understatement of the number of Hajis killed when we hit one of these Paki villages.
The CIA is still really pissed about that suicide bombing inside their camp.
They promised revenge and they have been dishing it out the last few days.
I think this strike has deeper implications, judged solely by the amount
WOW, I would have guessed 5 times that much!
Thanks for the info.
Sounds reasonable to me
