Hakimullah leader denies his death in new recording(Newbie still calls BS)

Guess who reads the Jawa...

Last evening I called BS after the Taliban released a mealy mouth audiotape claiming it came from their LATE leader Hakimullah Mehsud. Today they issued a new statement from someone claiming to be Meshud again who proceeds to give today's date Jan 16th. ...and claiming he is not worm food.

Meshud channels NEWBIE

The recording comes a day after the Taliban released a similar audio file in which Mehsud said he was alive but did not mention the specific strike Thursday in Pakistan's northwest that triggered rumours of his death.

“After the audio I released yesterday, some people speculated and said that I did not mention the date,” Mehsud said.

“Today, on the 16th of January I am saying it again -- I am alive, I am OK, I am not injured... when the drone strike took place, I was not present in the area at that time.” –AFP

Still not good enough we need a videotape with Meshud holding up tomorrows New York Times.

Come on people is it to hard to get a copy?
