Summary Hakimullah Mehsud had been killed in a US drone strike in North Waziristan on November 1.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Majority of the political leaders have termed Friday’s drone strike that killed TTP chief Hakimullah Mehsud as a conspiracy to sabotage peace talks with the militants.

Talking to Dunya News, Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Munawar Hassan said that the drone strike would cause a delay in talks with the Taliban.

Opposition leader Khursheed Shah said that the attack was made at a time when government officials were briefing about the dialogue process between government and Taliban, adding that the strike proved that Americans don t want peace talks to succeed.
