KABUL: Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said that the US drone strike that killed Pakistani Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud, took place at an unsuitable time, hoping that it will not damage the peace process with the Taliban.
In a statement issued late Sunday, Afghan President’s office said that Karzai during a meeting with a visiting US Congress delegation said that the attack “took place at an unsuitable time but he hoped as a result the peace process is not harmed.”
A US drone strike killed the outlawed militant group Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) Hakimullah Mehsud as it targeted his vehicle when he was leaving from a meeting at a mosque Dande Darpakhel area of North Waziristan tribal region on Friday evening.
