ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s army says a Taliban commander known for beheading opponents has died in custody from wounds sustained during his capture last week.
The army media center says Sher Muhammad Qasab died in custody Sunday. Qasab’s three sons were killed in the gun battle with security forces in the Swat Valley when he was arrested.
Qasab is an Urdu-language word meaning “butcher.” He was given the title because of his ruthlessness toward enemies. He had a $121,000 bounty on him.
