Wali ur rehman biography

Wali-ur-Rehman (Wali Ur-Rehman Mehsud) (c. 1970), (Bannu)  - reported deceased, 2013) was a senior Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) commander based in South Waziristan.

Wali-ur-Rehman was formerly a spokesman for Baitullah Mehsud, the late leader of the TTP.

Following Baitullah Mehsud's death in a missile attack launched from a Predator drone, a shura convened to choose his successor to lead the Pakistani Taliban.

Wali-ur-Rehman was considered a contender for leadership. On August 9, 2009, it was rumored that a heated exchange at the shura escalated to open gunfire, and Wali-ur-Rehman allegedly shot Hakimullah Mehsud, another leadership contender.
