Virtual Taliban

Abdullah Mehsud:
one of the most powerful leaders of the Taliban in South Waziristan, the most powerful commander in the tribal agency.



One of the suicide attacks targeted Sherpao in his home district of Charsadda in the Northwest Frontier Province. The Pakistani government had a warrant out for his arrest but failed to execute it until today.

When they came to arrest him, he hugged a grenade, commited suicide, rather than fight.
They knew the Government had a warrant for him, and he had no body guards, put up no fight.

This most powerful leaders of the Taliban, and the tribal agency just blew himself up rather than go back to Gitmo or fight the cops that came to arrest him. No protection, no emergency exit plan, just another virtual leader, an actor, of the virtual Taliban.
