Afghan Taliban say unhurt by Mehsud's death
2009-08-08
The fate of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) following the demise of Baitullah Mehsud is uncertain, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Fazlur Rehman told a private TV channel on Friday. To questions, he said he was unaware of how the TTP would react to the death of their leader. He also said that he could not predict the impact the death of Mehsud might have on Pakistan. He claimed Baitullah had been 'martyred' in the US drone attack, adding he termed anyone killed in a US attack a 'martyr'. He said his party did not support US action in Pakistan.

So the TTP are the Afghan Taliban? How nice of the Daily Times of Pakistan reporter to mention it.
