Pakistan Foreign Minister: Taliban Chief Baitullah Mehsud is Dead
So, likely lots of negotiations with the S Waziristan Taliban while that happens. And we will be putting lots of pressure on the Haqqani's, they are in our sights next but we don't have good UAV coverage in their areas, too far N, out of range and much more mountainous.
The Mehsud's have lots of AQ in their midst, Z for sure. Bottom line for us, they have to give up all AQ HVT's or the hits go on. From the absolutely chaotic and hysterical phone traffic in S Waziristan, they are very rattled by the UAV's and may be ready to give up the AQ.
Also, with opium drying up they may be ready to cut a deal. Baitullah's hit was a game changer, no one will want to take over, same thing happened with Zarqawi in Iraq. Hopefully the beginning of the end.
Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allâh, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of the (false moujadeem), Tâghût (Satan). So fight you against the friends of Shaitân (Satan). Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaitân (Satan the false Moujahedeen ). ] al-Nissa:76.
Allah said : (Allah has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion -the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: 'They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me. 'If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked.) 55,AlNOOR.
Baitullah Mehsud's possible successors
The likely death of Pakistani Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud has reportedly initiated meeting of the Taliban shura to choose his successor.
Hakeemullah Mehsud and Qari Hussain Mehsud, both cousins of Baitullah, have long been thought to be the main rivals for leadership of the Tehrik-e-Taliban, or the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, the group Baitullah formed in December 2007. Others mentioned include Waliur Rahman, a Taliban commander in Bajaur, and Azmatullah Mehsud, a close aide to Baitullah.
Hakeemullah is reported to be in the lead to fill Baitullah's role as the emir of the Pakistani Taliban, according toa report inAKI.
Below are profiles of Hakeemullah and Qari Hussain, the two main rivals for Baitullah's job.
