Baitullah killed in Aug 5-6 attack: Malik
2009-08-11
[Geo News] Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik said two sources have confirmed the death of Taliban chief in Pakistan Baitullah Mehsud.

Addressing at National Assembly here, he said Hakeemullah Mehsud and Waliur Rehman scuffled with each other with ensuing death of the former. The interior minister said he did not blow any trumpet of anything; an attack on Mehsud was conducted in the night falling between August 5 and 6, adding intelligence sources confirmed his death. Malik continued that Baitullah's doctor also confirmed his (Mehsud) presence at the house in the attack night.

Regarding the huge number of arms and ammunition in possession of the extremists, the interior minister remarked it is only 'some state' that is providing arms and ammunitions. He added that he is raring to give in camera briefing regarding where the extremists get the weapons from and how their network functions.

#1  Nah, I heard on the radio this morning that Hakeemullah called all the newspapers and announced he was alive. His brother, too. He just couldn't come to the phone.
