Maulvi Noor Jamal said next in barrel after Hakimullah Mehsud's death confirmed
2010-02-10
[Dawn] Sources said that Maulvi Noor Jamal has been nominated as Hakimullah Mehsud's succesor.
"Into the barrel wit' yez, Nur!"
Maluvi Noor Jamal! C'mon down!!
"You look like a man who needs life insurance to cover all your wives and kiddies!"
Maulvi Noor Jamal is a native of the Orakzai Agency and rose to power as the leader of the Taliban in the Kurram tribal area. He was also given responsibilities for Orakzai when the military began the Waziristan offensive in October.

Jamal is in his late thirties and was a maulana at a local madrassah before he was made the leader of the Taliban in Kurram.
"What do you mean, you haven't done your homework?"
He had a close relationship with Mehsud and is known for his brutality.
[SLAP! SLAP! SLAPPETY SLAP!]
"Owwwww!"

One resident who left Khurram for fear of being wanted by him said Jamal "...kills humans like one will kill chickens."
[BANG!]
"Aaaiiieee! [Thud!]"

Jamal is also the man who is allegedly overseeing the flogging of two men and a teenage boy in a recently broadcast video.

#1  Hmm... Asia Times was betting on "Qari Hussain Ahmed Mehsud, 22".
....

Along with Hakeemullah Mehsud, other hardline commanders emerged, such as the brutal Qari Hussain Ahmed Mehsud, the chief of suicide bombers. The militants who had moved from South Waziristan, mainly to North Waziristan and Orakzai Agency, practically abandoned their "Pakistani" dispensation as they moved closer to al-Qaeda or its allied groups.

A suicide attack this year on a US Central Intelligence Agency base in Khost province in Afghanistan, in which several top agents were killed, is an example in which several North Waziristan-based groups joined hands. These included al-Qaeda's Lashkar al-Zil (Shadow Army), headed by Ilyas Kashmiri and Hakeemullah.
Unlike Baitullah Mehsud, Hakeemullah never saw himself as a tribal warlord of any particular region; he moved around a lot, never staying in one place for too long.

If Hakeemullah is dead, Qari Hussain Ahmed Mehsud, 22, is likely to take over his position, which is now centered on spreading the Takfeeri ideology and which calls for attacks from Kabul to Karachi. Qari Hussain has already personally undertaken such work in Swat and other Pakistani tribal areas.
