Pakistan Taliban chief said targeted by U.S. drone

Maybe some wishful thinking , but it sure would be nice !
And we still have 13 dead bad guys either way !

Update by Kyros: The taliban are denying the latest US Predator strike has killed Hakimullah Mehsud. At least we still sent 13 islamofascist douchebags to paradise hell.



PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - A U.S. drone fired two missiles on Thursday at a compound in northwest Pakistan where Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud was believed to have been, but it was not clear if he was killed, Pakistani official.

Twelve militants were killed in the drone strike on a compound on the border between the North and South Waziristan tribal regions, near the Afghan frontier, the officials said.

"We had information that he was around there. We're checking on whether he was killed," a Pakistani security official, who declined to be identified, told Reuters.

"He was the target, he has probably been killed," said another security official.

A Pakistani Taliban spokesman told Dawn TV that Mehsud was safe and had left minutes before the strike.
