Taliban leader wounded in Hellfire strike?

CNN:

The leader of the Taliban in Pakistan, Hakimullah Mehsud, was wounded in a suspected U.S. drone strike Thursday, intelligence and Taliban sources told CNN Friday.

A Taliban spokesman denied Thursday and again Friday that Mehsud was hurt. The spokesman, Azam Tariq, said Mehsud had left the site of the attack -- a converted religious school -- before the missiles struck. He dismissed reports of an injury to Mehsud as propaganda.

Other Taliban and intelligence sources, however, said doctors were treating Mehsud for wounds he sustained in the drone strike.

The drone attack killed 10 people, with four missiles landing near a madrassa, or religious school, Pakistani intelligence and local officials said Thursday. The school had been converted into a training camp for militants, the officials said.

The Washington Post is reporting that the strike may have killed him. This is the kind of conflicting story that came out of the attack on the previous leader who they finally admitted was dead. What is clear is that the US is going to continue pounding enemy leaders in Pakistan.
