| Hakimullah Mehsud denies his death in new recording |
| Updated at: 2008 PST, Saturday, January 16, 2010 PESHAWAR: Pakistan's Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud released a new audio recording Saturday, saying he was alive and well after a US drone missile attack was said to have killed him. The recording comes a day after the Taliban released a similar audio file in which Mehsud said he was alive but did not mention the specific strike Thursday in Pakistan's northwest that triggered rumours of his death. "After the audio I released yesterday, some people speculated and said that I did not mention the date," Mehsud said. "Today, on the 16th of January I am saying it again -- I am alive, I am OK, I am not injured... when the drone strike took place, I was not present in the area at that time." |
