The brother of Pakistan's new Taliban leader has been killed in a clash with security forces in the north-west of the country, local officials say.
Kalimullah Mehsud was killed in battle on Monday after troops responded to a Taliban rocket attack on a military base in North Waziristan.
Tribal sources confirmed his death. He has since been buried in his village.

OK, I know what the word killed means, but what is "killed"? Is that like
pretending to be killed? ...playing dead?
Why the quotes around the word?

Has 0bama issued an apology yet?

I was just about to make the same comment....I’ve long noticed the British press, or the BBC at least, does this in almost every headline, and I keep wondering what’s the point. Emphasis?

Yep...as I replied on another thread about their cousin that was arrested that had the same last name...
Had me going there for a minute, I thought maybe this was "the other brother" Mehsud. Kalimullah Mehsud and Baitullah Mehsud were killed according to a couple of other threads. And here I was looking for the Bob Newhart pic of the Darryls...
