...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. A short time later, I heard that the CIA thought he might be a double agent and was considering eliminating him.

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...
