South Waziristan Special: Today’s threat

AKA Zulfiqar Mehsud, is the current chief of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan. Hakeemullah has been the TTP commander in the Khyber, Kurram and Orakzai tribal regions. Said to be in his late 20s and a cousin of Qari Hussain. He is known to be an aggressive commander, who previously served as a driver and was very close to Baitullah. Born in the Kotkai village of Sarwaki subdivision in South Waziristan Agency in 1980 as Jamshed Mehsud, Hakeemullah is known for his cruelty and for being a rash, strutting fighter who has led dozens of major terrorist operations against Pakistani and NATO security forces. Before becoming supreme commander of the TTP, his biggest success came on August 30, 2007, when his men captured 300 Pakistan Army soldiers in South Waziristan. The recent daring commando-style attacks on the military’s General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, and the Manawan and Bedian police training schools and FIA headquarters in Lahore, are said to bear his signature.
