drone strike that killed the leader of the taliban. one politician threatening to cut off nato supply routs. tee t terminal three has reopened. two french journalists are abducted and killed by gunmen in northern mali, the same area where government helped defeat rebel fighters months ago. >> pakistan's government demanded a meeting with the u.s. amdas door in response to the drone attack that killed hakimullah mehsud, the leader of the pakistani taliban. they are accusing the u.s. of interfering with peace talks. >> the efforts have been ambushed. it will - it was not acquired from the front, it was an ambush. we see it as an ambush. >> the chief minister of the province is standing here with me. they have decided that god willing the assembly will pass a unanimous declaration not to allow native supply to -- nato supply to enter the province until the drone attacks are stopped. >> rosa lined joins us. what are pakistani leaders accusing the government of. >> there's two things the pakistani government is accusing the u.s. of doing. o

taliban will not be ready for pea talks. there can only peace when there is peace on both sides, no drone strikes. >> a lot of anger and cynicism on the streets of pakistan particularly surrounding drone strikes. but i think on the government level there is just that little bit of hope that this new leader, khan said, will come to the negotiating table, that this will be a way forward, and there will be peace in pakistan. >> thank you. speaking to us from islamabad. >>> now, greek politicians are condemning the killing of two supporters of the far right golden dawn party. another party member is in hospital after being badly injured in the attack. it happened outside of the golden dawn office. no one has claimed responsibility, but it has raised fears that political violence might be rising as the country struggles with a financial crisis. we have been covering the story from athens, and we're there live. john, no one has claimed responsibility, but do the police have any idea of who may be behind the shooting? >> no, and th

there are those experts of the pakistani taliban who believe mama sad's removal could cause the taliban to split. there is a going to be a split. >> they said that this would have an impact on the peace process in pakistan. what about the impact on the peace process in afghanistan trying to engage the taliban in afghanistan as the u.s. prepares to withdraw in 2014. do you see it having an impact at all on that? >> that's a good question. just to point out the pakistani peace process had really not gotten anywhere. this may delay it. but with respect to the afghan peace process there are problems impeding that, recognition, security, suspicions about u.s. motives, and soen, i think that i think what is going to happen is a factor and will need support for any peace process or peace agreement, but i don't think this strike will have a big difference. as we had the story of al jazeera last week there was meetings in the afghan intelligence, and afghan intelligence thought they were going to use the afghan taliban against the pakistan, and i think this may help to dampen those pressures. >>

we are afraid that the taliban will aattack us. i don't know what to do. >> the market in peshawar has been attacked several times by the taliban. last month his uncle was killed in a bombingment across pakistan, security is on high alert after the pakistan taliban threatened to avenge hakimullah mehsud's death, saying every drop of blood will be turned into a suicide bomber. despite the fear, there is anger. interior minister khan blamed the u.s. for destroying the peace process with the pakistan taliban. >> the efforts were ambushed. it was not acquired from the front. it was an ambush. we see it as an ambush. >> but other political parties want more than angry words with washington. imran khan's south party provides a northern province, and has taliban strongholds in the tribal areas. he's demanding nato supply routes be closed. >> translation: i will raise the issue monday in the national assembly. the nato supply line should be blocked. we will not allow nato supply lines until they stop the drone attacks. >> many people in th

most of the time i am related to the taliban but when i talk about education not only taliban but terrorism is a hurdle between a real education but there are many issues as well that you must keep in mind. they have to arm for their family, something from child trafficking, use for arming money by some people, by someone. and stop children from going to their schools. in our society, they are famous for hospitality, the same -- the same for our courage but still there are some norms in our culture, that does not give equal rights to girls, may be securities for children to go to school, not only terrorism so i think they must fight these issues and the best way to fight these issues is educator's. >> you have been working very hard these days. going from pillar and place to place, quite -- are you having any fun at all? >> it is the very nice question. i miss those days. >> look-alike of very tedious, the first time. know what happens inside the house. inside the house -- my brothers used to fight with me and give them my response. >> of course. >> i have to justify myself now. it is good

and bad taliban, taliban that are aligned with its regional objectives and those who are opposed to them, they often make a distinction also in terms of their reaction, the guise fighting the military is good the guys cooperating with pakistan's military objectives in afghanistan, their elimination is bad. >> rose: do you believe that there will be significant negotiations between taliban and the government of pakistan and also the afghan taliban and the government? >> charlie, if you recall, some months ago, i actually wrote an op ed in "the new york times" in which i said don't talk to the taliban and here is my reasoning for it. look, negotiations take place when people have some common ground. the taliban want and eighth century world and whoever is talking to them is definitely from a different century. they have historically always used negotiations to buy time. they believe that time is on their side. there is a maxim of the taliban, americas have the watches we have the time. americans have the watches and we have the time. >> we have the time. i am not against negotiations,

taliban will not be ready for peace talks. dialogue can only take place when there's peace from both sides. >> privately the pakistani government, military and intelligence agencies will be pleased with hakimullah mehsud's death. during his time as leader he carried out several major attacks against a state that claimed thousands of lives. there are few details about the pakistani taliban's new leader. some suggest khan said is the most moderate of contenders. his election, they just, meanings the peace process started by the government could go through. with the pakistani taliban vowing to revenge the death of the former leader, it's all but certainly there'll be more violence ahead of talks. . >>> earlier david rowed, a pulitzer prize-winning journalist criticised the drone program. he suggested the fear of al qaeda is hurting the u.s. more than al qaeda itself. >> what is happening in pakistan is the level of anti-americanism is tremendous and is building public support for the pakistani taliban. >> the drone strikes. >> ye

it would be better for taliban to see if there couldn't be a peace agreement with the pakistani taliban. now there's a sense that the united states has stopped, you know, a peace process that the taliban might have agreed to. there were talks twice before with the pakistani taliban. the timing was unfortunate. >> most americans hear about the drone strikes and the n.s.a. scandals. a lot of people shrug. what are they missing? what do they not get? >> they don't see the consequences of this. there are no drone strikes in the united states. that's one example. one thing i think is changing this the u.s. and one thing mentioned in the column, the t.s.a. has started a process of looking at people before they fly. they are going through government and private databases before going to the airport. they are looking at property records, private information to decide whether you should be allowed to board your plain. as that comes home, they'll start to ask questions about levels of surveillance. >> germany and brazil are angry over spying allegations by the n.s.a. and ask the united nations to

the taliban will not be ready for peace talks. dialogue can only take place when there's peace from both sides. the pakistani government, military and intelligence agencies will undoubtedly be pleased with hakimullah mehsud's death. during his time as leader of the pakistan taliban, he undertook several attacks against the state that claimed thousands of lives. >> there's few details about the pakistan taliban's new leader. some suggest khan said is the most moderate of the contenders for the top job. his election, they insist means that the peace process started by the government, it could two through. but with the pakistan taliban vowing to avenge the death of hakimullah mehsud, it's almost certainly there'll be more violence ahead of talks. >>> secretary of state john kerry is arriving in egypt a day before the trial of ousted president mohamed morsi begins. his visit kicks off a 9-day trip to the middle east, europe and north africa. this will be his first time in egypt since the july coup forcing mohamed morsi out of office.

if afghan taliban and pakistan taliban are serious about reaching of political resolution and coming into politics that they'll come in because that's their interest and not because they somehow find it as a way to get kleclemency for past acts o murder. >> there is hostility to these kind of targeted attacks. these guys are terrorists and have killed more pakistanis than they have killed americans. why is it that -- explain for us is anti-americanism so strong that even if america does something that actually gets rid of a terrorist who is killing pakistani civilians, people assume it must be a bad thing? >> fareed, if you read my book you will find the first anti-american demonstration was not a reaction to drone strikes, it tack place in may 1948. pakistan's leaders have consistently negotiated with the united states by riling of the pakistani public against the u.s. and telling american leaders that i am your best hope of keeping an unruly country under control and that process has not stopped so if the pakistani public is simply not informed or educated about terrorism, the way

good taliban. and the taliban who are killing people in pakistan, there may be good taliban for some of the people in your establishment in afghanistan. so this is very difficult situation. and this is very horrible. and whatever is done, it is to keep them and maintain if they are for the political reasons, or the political interests, for the strategic reasons. and i request these powers, regional powers, that if you have any politics for the manipulation, to plunder the resources of each of them, to have strategic -- now let's to politics. now let's do politics for clean water. now let's to politics for food. now that's the politics for health and education. so if they decide, believe me, this will be resolved in a month. the problem, the problem lies with the political leadership. and i would not blame any one country. everybody has peace in their hard. -- hard. to be with the leadership in the west, i respect immediate. which is shared in east in pakistan. it is shared by the media. we came her

is >> woodruff: so tell us who he was and what was his role in the taliban? >> well, pakistani -- hakimullah mehsud took over as the leader of the taliban in 2009 after his predecessor, a man called bit tuul la mehsud was kille killedn american drone strike. and he was a young -- a very charismatic and in some ways flamboyant leader but he also had a very ruthless streak. under him, the pakistani taliban carried out attacks across pakistani cities and, indeed, had launched one attack in the united states, the attempted suicide bombing in times square of may, 2010, was carried out by a man who said that he'd been trained by the pakistani taliban and, indeed, who said he was motivated by the drone strike campaign in the tribal bets to carry out that attack. a drone strike campaign that has now claimed one of its biggest prizes, really, in the death of mr. mehsud. >> woodruff: how big a loss is this for the taliban? >> difficult to say at this stage. after his predecessor was killed in 2009 it didn't take very long for the pakistani taliban to bounce back and go

there's few details about the taliban's new leader. some suggest that khan said is the most moderate of the contenders for the top job, his election, they insist, meanings the peace process started by the government could possibly still go through. with the pakistani taliban planning to revenge the death of the former leader, it's all but certain there'll be more violence ahead of any talks. >> to talk about this we have christopher swift, a professor of national security studies at george town. thank you for being here. so there is a lot of anger in pakistan, but hakimullah mehsud has been terrorizing the country for more than a decade. why the outrage? >> there's a number of things going on. the first is the pakistani population is opposed to these strikes mainly because of concerns about civilian casualties. the pakistani government is making a lot of noise in recent days about this particular strike, because there has been a lot of controversy within pakistan about numbers that they released a few days ago concerning civilian casua

he was in charge of pakistani taliban operations. we also that he was involved in fighting in afghanistan against u.s. and coalition forces. now he is about 35 years old. he is from the massoud tripe of thtribe ofthe tribal region. he is thought to be something of a moderate. i don't mean he will likely persue a track of non-violence. there is some something suggeste is more willing to negotiate with the pakistani government about the peace talks we have been talking about. an agreement had been reached with the pakistani taliban to start talks. with the death there is some question whether that will actually ever happen. there is a general feeling that these talks may not have been competely derailed. >> what has been the general feeling on the ground? the reaction on the ground to this killing? >> well let me start with the government and the military and the intelligence agencies. they have not said anything they are happy that massoud is dead. this is a year for several years that has out witted and out played pakistan's powerful

get here, due to a trick played by the taliban. anderson recently spoke to the two men. >> i think this is such an important story because this has happened to -- so many people have worked for the united states in afghanistan and iraq. it happened to folks who worked for the united states in vietnam and back then, you know, we said this will never happen again. we'll take care of those people who helped the united states and yet again, we're not taking care of people who helped us in iraq and afghanistan. take me back to how you met janice. >> my 15-man unit and i got ambushed by about 45 members of the taliban and we had been pinned down, an hour in the firefight i ran out of grenades or i should say running out of bull lets. and i thought this is it. i'm going to probably die on this hillside. sort of out of a movie script, a the last possible moment, a qrf, quit reaction force, the cavalry arrived and he was in the first vehicle. i didn't know it but he actually jumped out into the fox hole i was in. i felt someone next to me b

it's now time, both the afghan taliban and the pakistani taliban -- they will come in because that's their interest, not because they somehow find it as a way to get clemency for their past acts of murder. >> hussein, you said something which struck me, which is that there is a tendency in pakistan to sympathize with the idea of talking to the taliban. there is a hostility to these kind of targeted attacks. but these guys are troi s ars a and they have killed many, many more pakistanis than they have americans. explain to us, is the anti-americanism so strong, that if it actually gets rid of people -- assume it must be a bad thing? >> fareed, if you read my book you are find that the first anti-american demonstration was not a reaction to drone strikes, it took part in 1948. pakistani leaders have consistently negotiated against the u.s. by telling american leaders that i am your best hope of keeping an unruly country under control. and that process has not stopped. so if the pakistani public is simply not informed or educated about them the way it ought to be, then there will be con

last week the previous leader of the taliban was killed in a u.s. drone attack or for the law the new put newly appointed chief spokesperson for the taliban and leader of the taliban now was always against peace talks even before the killing of hacking with food last week he was responsible for the shooting of malala yousafzai the insurgency from two thousand and seven to two thousand and nine in the swat valley that for thousands of pakistanis killed so he has always been against peace talks with the pakistan government. after the killing last week of hacking one of the sued clearly there is a lot of anger in within the taliban but not just within the taliban but also within the pakistan government who have accused the u.s. of sabotaging the peace talks and reworded press conference last week children if are only calling on accuse the u.s. of sabotaging peace talks and he said that this is just not just the killing of a man but also the killing of an entire people peace process that the u.s. knew was occurring and the talks were imminent where does
