The Taliban Shura Council met to name a successor to Baitullah, who had nominated Hakimullah to decide over the nomination of new Ameer. Instead Hakimullah named himself as the successor, going against the majority of the Shura that wanted Wali-ur-Rehman.
The Shura council agreed that Hakimullah had the power to name himself, per the wishes of Baitullah, and then endorsed Hakimullah the new Taliban Ameer Sahib.
Wali-ur-Rehman and Hakimullah exchanged heated words and Wali-ur-Rehman then shot Hakimullah to death, Hakimullah's bodyguards then shot Wali-ur-Rehman to death and supporters on both sides fired on each other with many killed and wounded.
So, of the three nominees only Azmatullah survives. The secret meeting was held in Makeen, S Waziristan and the shooting happened at 1630 (1030 GMT).
Great news, three for the price of one.

BTW, regarding reports that Baitullah survived, his driver was just buried in Mardan, NWFP. There is absolute fratricidal chaos in the Taliban right now, watch for lots of revenge killings from now on.

Instead Hakimullah named himself as the successor, going against the majority of the Shura that wanted Wali-ur-Rehman. Going against the majority...that tactic sounds very familiar.
