For sure no one knows if he is dead or life and the Taliban have denied that their leader was killed.
In the coming days or even weeks we will really know if this scumbag is life or dead.
When Baitullah Mehsud was killed on August 5, 2009 most of the mainstream international and local media had no clue, and after two days when the media started speculating that he may be dead, the main stream Taliban leadership (Hakimullah Mehsud and Waliur Rahman) first denied that he was dead, but then after almost 20 days they confirmed that he was dead.

On August 5, 2009, two Hellfire missiles fired from an American Predator drone crashed through the roof of a house in northwest Pakistan. Lying on the roof of his father-in-law’s house was Baitullah Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban. Along with Mehsud, the explosion killed his father-in-law, his mother-in-law, his wife, his uncle, a lieutenant and seven bodyguards.
It took three days for mainstream news sources to confirm rumors of the Taliban leader’s death as the Taliban moved to prevent the news from leaking out.
