#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.
