Hakimullah Mehsud: Leader of the Pakistani Taliban who was killed by a US drone strike
Hakimullah Mehsud's career as the leader of the Pakistani Taliban was bracketed by CIA drone strikes. In August 2009 his relative and mentor Baitullah Mehsud, the founder of the group, was receiving a leg massage from his wife on a rooftop in South Waziristan when the missiles came for them. Baitullah and his wife were killed, ending the burly tribesman's role as a brutal militant commander who had launched a fierce wave of suicide bombings across the country and is believed to have assassinated the former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
After four years in charge, Hakimullah Mehsud was similarly killed in a drone attack. He was staying in an eight-room compound complete with marble floors and fruit orchards. The younger Mehsud was a trusted aide of Baitullah Mehsud, for whom he had sometimes acted as a bodyguard. In an earlier role, Hakimullah was the Pakistani Taliban's commander in the Orakzai

Obituary: Hakimullah Mehsud
He was killed in a suspected US drone attack in 2004 but not before he had made the Pakistani Taliban a force to be reckoned with.
The comparison with Hakimullah Mehsud sits well - both were handsome young men with an aggressive instinct.
But Hakimullah was known to possess a wild streak which bordered on the reckless.
In 2007, he took a BBC crew for a drive, handling the vehicle like a man possessed, manoeuvring around razor sharp bends at barely possible speeds.
He finished the demonstration by braking inches short of a several hundred-foot drop.
