Mehsud killed while getting 'leg massage' on the roof
I hate being interrupted when I'm getting a 'leg massage.'



Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud was killed last week in a CIA drone attack while getting a leg massage on the roof of his father-in-law's house, CNN said Monday, citing an unnamed US official.

4. In other words, No "Happy Ending" for Baitullah Mehsud...
Too bad about his wife, however- collaterally damaged in the attack, presumably.

5. Two key phrases: "CNN said Monday" / "citing an unnamed US official"
These key phrases indicate that this may possibly, probably, likely, maybe, definitely be absolute bullshit.

9. If not, there would have been little reason for the shoot-out between his successors. n/t

10. Unfortunately, it was his successor who called in and informed them he's not dead. nt

13. How could there be a successor if the leader is still alive?

14. The "successor" himself was deemed dead.
And subsequently contacted either Reuters or AP to inform them that both are still alive.

There seems to be greater evidence that the leader may be dead.

I don't know, it's a mess.

11. He was diabetic.
So probably not so scandalous.

12. One shouldn't assume it was short.
He might have had to keep it rolled up to prevent it from dragging on the ground while he walked. We just don't know at this time.
