New TTP chief: Meanwhile, intelligence officials and Taliban sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, have said that Taliban commanders were

drawing straws

meeting in the Tribal Areas on Friday to choose a successor. It was unclear when they might reach a decision.

"Rock-paper-scissors, first man to 1,059!"

Three Pakistani intelligence officials said the likeliest successor

needed to have a small thermal signature and very, very keen ears

was Mehsud's deputy, Hakeemullah Mehsud, a commander known for recruiting and training suicide bombers. Two other prominent possibilities, the officials said, were

checking flight schedules to Mogadishu and finding someone to watch the goats

Azmatullah Mehsud and Waliur Rehman, also close associates of Mehsud.
