The ruthless commander behind the attack on teenage activist Malala Yousafzai as well as a series of bombings and beheadings was chosen Thursday as the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, nearly a week after a U.S. drone strike killed the previous chief.
The militant group ruled out peace talks with the government, accusing Pakistan of working with the U.S. in the Nov. 1 drone strike. Islamabad denied the allegation and accused Washington of sabotaging its attempt to strike a deal with the Taliban to end years of violence.
Mullah Fazlullah was unanimously appointed the new leader by the Taliban's leadership council, or shura, after several days of deliberation, said the council's head, Asmatullah Shaheen Bhitani. Militants fired AK-47 assault rifles and anti-aircraft guns into the air to celebrate.

Could it have been unanimous because nobody else wanted it? Head of the Taliban anywhere doesn't seem like the kind of job where you consider the retirement benefits before taking it.
Incoming drone. The Whitehouse Muslim Brotherhood leader doesn’t like the Taliban.
You sure?
Maybe it was like getting picked to head up an event committee. You know....it’s always the person who left the room for a few minutes and comes back to find out they have been selected.
Just a hunch.
This is like Guinness naming you the oldest living person. It’s a great but usually short-lived honor.
It took longer to chose number 2!
Those bloody savages regard the new Taliban head as a hero for viciously assaulting a fourteen year old girl.
BTW, after young Malala was medevac’d to a London hospital, local Pakis claiming they were “relatives” tried to infiltrate to finish her off.
Savages.....all savages. The Zombie Apocalypse is already here, brought to us by Islam & inbreeding. Millions of them.
he needs to move the the top of the list
and after the strike , hit them again , anyone that shows up
to pick of the pieces . Then hit all their funerals
