New Delhi: The Taliban leader in Pakistan, Baitullah Mehsud says he had no hand in Benazir Bhutto's killing. On Friday, an Interior Ministry spokesperson had blamed Mehsud for Benazir's assassination.

Mehsud's spokesman Maulana Omar said that "he had no involvement in this attack" on Benazir.

And no one knows how Mehsud looks as all his pictures have his face carefully covered and the tactic is deliberate.

Not knowing how somebody looks makes it more difficult to target him. Mehsud heads the newly formed Taliban Movement of Pakistan and is committed to jihad against foreign forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Mehsud heads an army of 20,000 militants in South Waziristan and the area is now acknowledged to be an al-Qaeda sanctuary.

Mehsud operates under the direct command of the Afghan Taliban commander Jalaluddin Haqqani and also shares a close rapport with Taliban leader Mullah Omar.
