al Jazeera is reporting that Taliban leader Qari Zainuddin has been shot and killed by one of his own guards following criticism by him of Baitullah Mehsud, the head of the Taliban in Pakistan.
Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder, reporting from the Pakistani capital Islamabad, said: "Zainuddin had accused Baitullah Mehsud of going against the tenets of Islam for carrying out attacks on religious scholars.
"He said he would take his men and go after Baitullah Mehsud."
...and...
Zainuddin had said: "Whatever Baitullah Mehsud and his associates are doing in the name of Islam is not a jihad, and in fact it is rioting and terrorism.''
Hm.
