Baitullah Mehsud married the daughter of Ikramuddin, a tribal elder from the Shabikhel branch of Mehsud tribe, in October 2008. Baitullah is also from the Shabikhel Mehsud clan. Hakimullah Mehsud, deputy to Baitullah Mehsud, confirmed the attack on the house of his leader’s father-in-law, but denied the loss of his wife. "There is no truth in media reports that the said wife of Ameer Saib (Baitullah) has been killed in the drone attack," the Taliban commander told media persons from an undisclosed location. He said Baitullah had already withdrawn his family from the area when the situation deteriorated as a result of the military operation launched by the Government against them. There has been no official confirmation of the incident so far.

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesman Hakeemullah Mehsud and Taliban commander Waliur Rehman were killed in a gunbattle that erupted during a meeting to determine the future of the organisation, PTV reported on August 8, a few hours after Hakeemullah claimed Baitullah Mehsud is "alive", reports Daily Times.

Authorities are increasingly convinced that the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Baitullah Mehsud was killed in a CIA missile strike on August 5 in South Waziristan, the military said on August 9, Daily Times reported. “Multiple sources are now confirming he (Baitullah) is dead,” including at least two Taliban commanders, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) spokesman Major General Athar Abbas said. He said the reports of infighting were “one of the biggest, latest indicators”. According to him, “Why is there a fight, why this fight for succession? These are very strong indicators leading towards reasonable confirmation that he was killed.” He said authorities were currently unable to confirm what occurred in the Taliban meeting where the gun-battle is believed to have broken out. Meanwhile, a senior Government official doubted that any potential successor had been injured. He said there were reports of a clash among Taliban guards at a meeting on Saturday evening and indications that some people had been wounded, but there was no credible information to suggest any of the Taliban leaders were among them. There are also conflicting reports that a major fight broke out between the two likely contenders to replace Baitullah – Hakeemullah Mehsud and Waliur Rehman – with one or both being killed or wounded.

A paramilitary soldier was killed and three others sustained injuries when a bomb exploded near the Banda Post, about two kilometers from Miranshah. The soldiers were reportedly fetching water from a nearby spring when the bomb exploded. The Gul Bahadur group, which has alliance with the group of Baitullah Mehsud, claimed responsibility for both the attacks. The militant group, which scrapped a peace agreement with the Government on June 29, has demanded withdrawal of troops and an end to the drone attacks.

Al Qaeda is trying to install a new “chief terrorist” in the Tribal Areas following the alleged death of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) chief Baitullah Mehsud, Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on August 10, Daily Times reported. “Al Qaeda has been grouping in the same place (South Waziristan) and is trying to find somebody to install as the leader, as the chief terrorist in that area,” he told BBC Radio. He said the Taliban were in disarray and fleeing the area following the apparent killing of their commander. He hoped this would result in the border regions being open to greater development. “All the credible intelligence that I have received on the drone attack has led me to finally confirm it (Mehsud’s death),” he said to questions on whether Mehsud was actually dead. “It’s one of the achievements and I also feel that after the killing of Baitullah Mehsud, the whole TTP ... it will take some time for them to regroup,” he added. “Information gathered in the past three days has revealed that most Taliban are running away from the area,” AFP quoted him as saying. The Taliban, Malik said, should play their role to further develop the Tribal Areas, the Online news agency reported. To questions on leniency towards the Taliban militants who laid down their arms and renounced violence, he said that none of the Taliban involved in the murder of innocent people would be pardoned. However, he added, the people who had been fighting the Government out of fear of the Taliban would be shown leniency.

Ladha is inhabited by the Mehsud tribesmen and is under the control of the Baitullah Mehsud-led Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). A senior Taliban commander of the Mullah Nazir group said they would not say as to who killed their men and why. “Either the government, the Uzbeks or the Mehsud Taliban could be involved in their killing. But right now, we cannot say anything concrete,” he said. He added that the militants were traveling via Makeen and Ladha in South Waziristan where the Mehsud Taliban and the Uzbek militants were active. The Taliban commander said most of the bodies had been recovered except three, which, he said, were taken away by the assailants. Another senior Taliban commander later telephoned The News from Wana and denied reports about the killing of Mullah Nazir in the ambush. “There is no truth in these reports. I offered Maghrib prayers with him on Sunday and he was safe and sound. This man, Turkistan Bhittani, is spreading lies by claiming that Ameer Sahib (Mulla Nazir) has been killed by the Baitullah Mehsud group,” claimed the Taliban commander and a close aide to Nazir. He termed it part of a malicious propaganda launched by pro-government commander Turkistan Bhittani to create differences between the militants belonging to the Ahmadzai Wazir and Mehsud tribes. He resisted blaming anyone for the killings at this stage.

In recent weeks, the TTP had appointed another spokesman named Azam Tariq, though Maulvi Omar insisted that he hadn’t been replaced. A senior military official told The News that the TTP spokesman during preliminary interrogation confirmed the death of Baitullah Mehsud in a US drone attack on August 5 on the house his father-in-law, Ikramuddin, in Zangara village in South Waziristan Agency. According to an official of the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC), Maulvi Omar and his two bodyguards were returning to Bajaur after a failed attempt to travel to the Orakzai Agency when armed volunteers of the local tribal Lashkar in Khwezai area captured them. Maulvi Omar, the official said, was scheduled to attend an important meeting of senior TTP commanders in Orakzai. Maulvi Omar and his two colleagues, identified as Hanifullah and Waheed Gul, were walking on foot when members of the Lashkar waylaid and captured them. They later handed them over to the Mohmand Rifles, a wing of the FC. The TTP spokesman was then shifted to Ghalanai, the headquarters of the Mohmand Agency, where he was to be produced before the media. Sources in the militia said TTP letterheads signed by Baitullah Mehsud, maps, video camera and a walkie-talkie were recovered from Omar at the time of his arrest.

In a speech on his FM radio Maulvi Faqir accused the peace committee of Mohmand Agency of violating a ‘peace accord’ between militants and tribal elders by capturing TTP spokesman Maulvi Umar. He warned that the TTP would avenge Umar’s capture. "The Taliban will take action against those members of the peace committee who captured our spokesman," he said. Maulvi Omar, he claimed, was functioning as a journalist and his arrest would not affect the movement. He, however, said that despite the ‘violation’, the agreement would remain in force. A local militia captured Umar in Mohmand Agency in the night of August 17 and later handed him over to the Security Forces. Faqir told the BBC that Muslim Khan had been appointed TTP spokesman in place of Maulvi Omar. Muslim Khan is currently the spokesman of the Taliban in Swat.
