Mullah Allah Noor was a senior commander of the Taliban.so this is a big catch.
In addition to Nek Mohammad and four tribesmen, three foreign suspects also died in the Thursday night attack near Wana, military spokesman Maj-Gen Shaukat Sultan said. "Eight people were killed in the attack, including Nek (Mohammad) and three foreigners," Maj-Gen Sultan told AFP. Intelligence officials said a satellite phone conversation involving Nek Mohammad had helped pinpoint the house where the militants were staying, which was then struck by a laser-guided missile. The situation in South Waziristan "is fully under control of the security forces," Maj-Gen Sultan said when asked if there were any fears of a tribal backlash over the killing.Our correspondent adds from Wana: A relative calm prevailed over the South Waziristan tribal region on Saturday as local militants debated over who would suceed Nek Mohammad.
Sources here said that the people likely to suceed Nek Mohammad, included his first cousin, Allah Noor, and another of his relative, Khan Mohammad Yargulkhel. Both men are in their early 40s and have been associated with the Taliban movement in Afghanistan.
