ISLAMABAD: The reported death of dreaded militant commander Baitullah Mehsud in a US drone attack will deal a major blow to the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) as its division in splinter groups seems imminent.

ìA meeting of the TTP Shura (council) is being held today (Friday) to appoint the new chief of the outfit with Hakimullah Mehsud, Asmatullah Mehsud, Mufti Waliur Rehman and Maulvi Faqir Muhammad being tipped as possible candidates for the top position. There are few chances of the TTP remaining united after the death of Baitullah,î a source in the militant group told The News over telephone from an undisclosed location wishing anonymity.
