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 in the eye of the storm.
