The US military, which avoided hitting the forces of Pakistan’s most wanted man, Baitullah Mehsud, in 2007 and 2008 when the Taliban leader waged a campaign of suicide bombings inside Pakistan, and who has been blamed for the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, has started sending unmanned aircraft to target them to pre-empt a Taliban spring offensive in Afghanistan.
Analysts said this is a potentially significant development because territory controlled directly by Mehsud does not touch the Afghan border.
