Frantic Manhunt for Taliban Head, Mehsud

One of the main persons from the militant Mehsud tribe, who had thrown a gauntlet to the alleged killer of Benazir Bhutto named Baitullah Mehsud, was shot dead in Pakistan.

Mehsud was groomed by Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence just a few years ago when the dreaded agency was headed by the present army chief, General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani.

Qari Zainuddin, the leader of a rival faction of Mr Mehsud’s tribe inhabiting the troubled South Waziristan region, was shot dead in his house in Dera Ismail Khan by a lone gunman, who escaped after firing.
