Desire for son led to Mehsud's death: report | |
2009-08-10 | |
[The News (Pak) Top Stories] A desperate wish for a son may have led to the death of Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, a British newspaper reported on Sunday. Mehsud was spending the night with his second wife in village Zangarha on Wednesday when he was killed in an American drone attack, the Sunday Times said. It said the 35-year-old Mehsud, who has four daughters by his first wife, took a second wife, the daughter of an influential cleric, last November.
Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Saturday said Mehsud, his wife and seven guards were killed. But he added, "We are still waiting for material evidence to confirm it totally." Mehsud was supported by the Pakistani army and intelligence service ISI, a Pakistani military analyst told the paper. "He was originally supported by the military and ISI, but he had begun to bite the hand that fed him," said analyst Ayesha Siddiqa. "His death is a very powerful signal to them all." | |

#3 waiting for material evidence to confirm it totally Why is a Paki minister talking like a Valley Girl? And I guess "Messy" Mehsud couldn't get the goat or little boy trysts to work out, so he resorted to Plan C (Use a woman). |

#2 No one is on a Predator target list for spending time in bed with his wife. He worked very hard to make the target list & deserved the honor. Another dead thug no one will remember next month.I forgot his name already. |
