Baitullah Mehsud from WikiPedia:
Baitullah Mehsud (Pashto: ??? ???? ?????; Urdu: ??? ???? ?????; c. 1974 – August 2009) was a leading militant in Waziristan, Pakistan, and the leader of the Taliban umbrella group, Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, which he formed from an alliance of about five pro-Taliban groups in December 2007.
