LAHORE: Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan Bajaur Agency chief Maulvi Faqir has said 
Al Qaeda and the Afghan Taliban had no role in the appointment of new TTP 
chief, a private TV channel reported on Monday. He said the TTP council had 
independently chosen and appointed Hakimullah Mehsud as Baitullah's 
successor. Faqir said the TTP was an independent organisation and Al Qaeda 
or the Afghan Taliban had no say in its operations.

Islamabad is also saying that al-Qa'ida has failed to reunify the Pakistani 
Taliban since Baitullah was killed on 5 August by our friends in Langley. 
The surviving Arabs and Russians and Uzbeks in Pakistan -- fugitives from 
defeated jihads abroad -- must feel the nooses tightening around their 
throats. I expect there will be more drone strikes against that lot, on 
information fed to Islamabad by local barbarians like Maulvi Faqir. In 
Zawahiri's last piece, "Path of Doom", he mentions the rain of drone strikes 
and its demoralizing effect on the "muhajroon" (literally "migrants", but he 
is referring to fugitives like himself) and on those who shelter them. His 
fear of betrayal by those around him is also quite apparent:

"O Allah, annihilate the organs of Crusader security and their aides who 
pursue the Muslims and Mujahideen, reveal their whereabouts, torture them 
and hand them over to their enemies. ...  O Allah, annihilate those 'Ulema 
who have sold their religion to the Americans and their agents for the 
crumbs of this world."

Dozens of times I have heard Zawahiri say that these "mujahideen" are 
invincible. Now he says that others "pursue" them and "reveal their 
whereabouts". Good news, good news.
