Baitullah Meshud, militan Taliban yang berambut panjang dengan gaya tersendiri

Rambutnya panjang dengan gaya tersendiri dan ini membezakannya dengan Militan Mujahideen yang lain.

Itulah dia Baitullah Meshud, ketua Taliban Pakistan yang berpengkalan di Waziristan.

Dia antara individu paling dikehendaki Washington selain Osama bin Laden (boss Al Qaeda), Mullah Mohammad Omar (pemerintah no. 1 Taliban) dan Ayman Al-Zawahiri (pemimpin no.2 Al Qaeda) kerana dikatakan pencetus 80% pengeboman berani mati di Pakistan.

Baitullah Meshud, maut dalam serangan Drone (pesawat tanpa juruterbang) Amerika Syarikat pada 5 Ogos 2009 di Waziristan Selatan ketika usianya 35 tahun.

Plot to kill an elected assemblyman in Sabah by militant?

The Malaysian Government cannot confirm nor deny claims that the 13 people detained in Tawau, Sabah, East Malaysia, last week had planned to assasinate an elected representative, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.

He confirmed that those detained were considered terrorists and investigations were ongoing.

Hishammuddin was responding to a report in The Star in its Wednesday 23rd November 2011 edition, that the 13 suspected Darul Islam terrorists were part of a group believed to have plotted to assassinate a local assemblyman.

Counter-terrorism sources said that they were also planning to hold a police officer hostage to secure the release of their comrades.

According to them, the group had attended guerilla warfare training in Sulawesi, Indonesia, and were also taught to make bombs.

Their group leader Abdullah Omar was arrested in Indonesia in July 2011.

“This group first surfaced in 2006 and wanted to murder an assemblyman but counter-terrorism officers thwarted its plans,” one source said.

Well to me, this is gruesome. Plot to kill an elected assemblyman in Sabah is unheard of in the past.

May God Bless Malaysia and may those militants remain in custody.
