North Waziristan 29/05/2013

TBIJ strike ID: Ob318

Drones killed the Pakistan Taliban (TTP) second-in-command, a loss that disrupted nascent peace talks with Islamabad.

Wali ur Rehman died alongside several other named militants. He was buried within hours. His death was seen as ‘crippling for their top command structure’, according to one unnamed Pakistani official, but also put at risk Pakistan’s plans to open negotiations with the TTP.
