...extensive report, he would not be turned over to the South Koreans but would be allowed to continue his education in electrical engineering in the U.S. After a two-week interrogation, I was directed to turn him over to the CIA, who would then follow through with the agreement.

He used that goodwill to tighten his grip on Waziristan quickly, converting the rugged region into a haven where militant groups could freely operate camps and training facilities. The assassination of Bhutto and subsequent attacks attributed to Mehsud turned him into a prime target of the Pakistani government. In June 2009, key roads were choked as Pakistani military aircraft began strafing targets from the air. CIA-operated drones also went to work, attacking sites associated with Mehsud. On Wednesday...
