Security forces killed Mehsud, claims cousin | ||
2007-07-31 | ||
Abdullah Mehsud did not die in a suicide blast but was shot dead by security forces who should now refuse the support of the US in FATA, South Waziristan, North Waziristan, Khyber, otherwise bomb blasts will occur all over the country and especially in Karachi.
Zaman said that Mehsud took part in the Afghan jihad and that he also lost his leg while fighting. He added that Abdullah was satisfied with the peace agreement between the government of Pakistan and the tribals. Zaman asked how Abdullah’s body could have survived if he had indeed blown himself up. Why did the government not have a postmortem conducted and bury him “in silence”. Zaman claimed that Abdullah did not belong to Al Qaeda but was a Taliban leader. His family had been freedom fighters and one of his brothers is in the Pakistan Army, Zaman claimed. Zaman, who is a member of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), was questioned on the fact that party chairperson Benazir Bhutto had no objection to the operation in the tribal areas. He replied that Bhutto was not in the country and hence did not know what exactly was going on. | ||

#1 It' wasn't a suicide blast - his bomb vest just went off accidentally when the Spec Op embedded in the Security Forces shot him. Or, an even better story, he was shot and killed by a mole very high up in the Taliban organization. Omar's right hand man, I think. Or maybe his left. |
