Pakistani Taliban commander Hakimullah Mehsud, seen here in 2008, was killed by a U.S. drone strike on Friday. His group has been blamed for 45,000 deaths but it is not considered the region's most dangerous militant organization. Photo by AFP - Getty Images, file.

      In Kabul, Afghanistan, hours after the death of Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud, the militant group's counterparts across the border condemned the "cowardly U.S. drone attack." It was said that the Afghan Taliban state, "If America believes that by martyring mujahedeen, they will somehow create a void and reach their selfish aims then they are greatly mistaken." Mehsud's Pakistani Taliban is responsible for the death of at least 40,000 civilians and 5,000 troops during its decade-long insurgency against the country's government. The Pakistani Taliban have also been known to support their Afghan brothers-in-arms, who are a separate group under the leadership of the elusive Mullah Mohammed Omar.

      About 2 weeks ago I posted about a house fire that took place in the island of New Providence killing a family of 6. This was house fire was under investigation because it believe to be a murder. It was about a year or so that another house fire took place in this same community killing a family of over 4 persons. But sad to say the police have reported that there isn't any evidence of murder in house fire killing a family of 6.

    How did this 9 year old first and foremost leave his home to go to the airport. Then for him to be able to pass thru Airport Security Personnel, this is really weird. I am happy he was caught and is said to be back home but this need to go under investigation. Did should hold is parents very much responsible for this and find out what was the boy reason to go to Las Vegas, and how he was able to escaped from his home and go to the airport, without an adult. This is very serious, but thank God he is home safely.
