The government in Islamabad reacted angrily to the attack on Mehsud, chief of Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Friday, saying it would scuttle its peace talks with the group.

...

Carney would not confirm the drone strike that killed Mehsud, in line with normal practice in such attacks, but he said the TTP leader had a long list of extremist credentials, including a failed bombing in Times Square, New York, in 2010.

...

Mehsud was also wanted in connection with the killings of seven Americans at a US base in Khost province, Afghanistan. The suicide bomb attack was one of the CIA's deadliest days in decades, as five of the agency's anti-terror officers and two contractors were killed.

The killing of Hakimullah Mehsud came just over a week after Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif asked President Barack Obama in Oval Office talks to stop drone strikes.

Pakistan's Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Saturday accused Washington of sabotaging peace efforts with the drone strike on Mehsud.
