A 34-year-old “neo-Taleban” leader in Pakistan is now regarded as the most deadly threat to the West, replacing Osama bin Laden as Public Enemy No 1. Baitullah Mahsud, who is suspected of masterminding the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the Pakistani politician, was named yesterday as the most significant non-state threat to global security to have emerged in the past 12 months.

Nigel Inkster, the former deputy chief of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), revealed that the neo-Taleban under the leadership of Mahsud were suspected of having been involved in terrorist plots in Britain and Spain.

“There is some evidence they were involved with the assassination of Benazir Bhutto and that they have dispatched terrorists to the United Kingdom and Spain,” Mr Inkster said.
