Taleban choose leader amid protests at US intervention

Taleban choose leader amid protests at US intervention - The Scotsman
"SENIOR figures in the ­Pakistani Taleban met yesterday to choose a successor to leader Hakimullah Mehsud, who was killed in a US drone strike.
Tension remained high across Pakistan following Mehsud’s death on Friday. The killing of the ruthless leader, who was responsible for attacking a CIA base in Afghanistan and a bloody campaign that killed thousands of Pakistani civilians and members of the security forces, was a heavy blow for the militant group."
