Television crews jostled for camera space while news anchors played up the melodrama.

The interview, which will air Friday, is a first for the commander who seems to take his PR cues from the notoriously camera-shy Mullah Omar. Mehsud was surprisingly plump, says Zaidan, but his soft, stout figure and easy camaraderie belie a powerful charisma and laser-like focus. Zaidan attributes some of Baitullah's savvy to better education and more exposure to al-Qaeda: "These militant leaders now, they are living...
