Pakistani intelligence officials say gunmen riding in a car with tinted windows shot to death a senior Pakistani Taliban commander in the country's northwest.
The officials say Shakirullah Shakir was riding on a motorcycle Monday near the town of Miran Shah in the North Waziristan tribal area when he was killed. Shakir was a senior commander and spokesman for the Fidayeen-e-Islam wing of the Pakistani Taliban, which handles the group's suicide bombers.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.
