Islamabad, Oct 26: Fifteen people, including the brother of Pakistani Taliban chief Baitullah Mehsud, were killed in violent incidents in the troubled North West Frontier Province (NWFP) on Sunday.
Yahya Mehsud, the brother of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan chief who was reportedly not linked to jehadi or militant activities, was picked up by unidentified armed men from his village in Bannu district in NWFP.
Yahya's body was later found by security forces in the Domail area near Bannu, officials told TV channels.

Yahya Mehsud, 32, was very religious minded and by all accounts, lived alone and was not involved in any militancy.
This was a hit on Baitullah.
He was kidnapped, shot, thrown in a canal beside a road in Kashu village, with a Kalashnikov assault rifle and several shells lying near it.
Baitullah has a brother Abdullah, who is a commander with the Taliban.
Likely the Wazir tribe was involved, look for a coming civil war among the Pashtun.
How can that be ? I thought Obama was in Hawaii visiting his grandmother..
