Pakistani Taliban leader allegedly targeted

Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud may have been targeted in a drone strike in January. That's according to Pakistani intelligence officials on Sunday.

Officials say they have received unconfirmed reports that Mehsud may have died of wounds from the strike.

Pakistan state television reported earlier that Mehsud was killed and had been buried. Almost all private TV channels ran the report.

A U.S. drone fired two missiles in January at a compound in northwest Pakistan where Mehsud was believed to have been. No sources are able to confirm his whereabouts so far.
