War is deceit. BBC
The Pakistani Taliban's leader Baitullah Mehsud is gravely ill, his top aide has told the BBC.
Maulana Nur Syed denied this was linked in any way to claims Baitullah Mehsud was killed in a US missile strike on Wednesday in a remote tribal area.[...]
Earlier, Pakistani officials said they had "credible evidence" that Baitullah Mehsud had been killed.
But senior Taliban commander Hakimullah Mehsud then contacted the BBC to say his chief was alive and well. [...]
In Washington, US National Security Adviser Jim Jones put the level of US certainty that Baitullah Mehsud had been killed "in the 90% category".
