Pakistan's Interior Minister: Killing of Hakimullah Mehsud the "Death of All Peace Efforts"
Leader of Pakistani Taliban killed in drone strike yesterday
Pakistan's interior minister has said the death of Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud has destroyed the country's nascent peace process.
"This is not just the killing of one person, it's the death of all peace efforts," Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said.
Pakistan's security forces have been put on high alert following the US drone strike on Friday.
It came a day before a government delegation had been due to fly to North Waziristan to meet Mehsud.

The killing of Hakimullah Mehsud is against the Pakistan as well as its nation. Whey America Killed him at the time when Pakistani government was going to have dialouges with Hakimullah. The Pakistani people are worried about the revenge of TTP upcoming leaders. Hence America has done a bad job, which goes against the interest of Pakistan at par.
