hit by a drone. the united states had been looking for masood for years. he posed with a jordanian suicide-bomber, now they have got their man. >> he was a man of great strategic military and tractcal skills. we don't want to romancize what he did. he was a formidableed adversa. they will not be pleased that he was killed by a drone strike. >> they could moderate their position now that masood is dead. >> he was one of those in the group who really pushed for an aggressive violence campaign to

the chagrin of some people in the pakistani taliban. >> reporter: it didn't take long to replace masood. al jazeera sources have confir confirmed khan said had been appointed as head of the new group, securing 43 out of 60 votes. he was previously responsible for operations. >> let's get more on this. we go to islamabad. you say that he may be the most moderate of all the contenders for successor, but still the taliban are vowing retaliatory attacks. >> absolutely. and there is no surprise that the taliban is. had this is the group responsible for horrific attacks across pakistan for several

years, attacks that have claimed the lives of literally thousands of people. this is an organization that is actively fight to go overthrow the government here in islamabad. it certainly doesn't come as a surprise that the pakistani taliban said it will retaliate and it will do so by using suicide-bombers. at the same time, the reason we perhaps describe khan said as a mod raid, some believe that he is more inclined than some of the other people to engage in peace talks with the government. now the prime minister nawaz sharif has been saying for weeks that he wants talks with the taliban. with the election of khan said many believe that this dialogue could start and it could lead to

the end of violence as we've been discussing. >> what is the news to the death in pakistan? >> reporter: it's interesting. from a government point of view, from an intelligence point of view and military point of view i would imagine that people are very pleased that masood is dead. keep in mind that he was a very strong adversary with the pakistani state. he outwit and outplayed the military carrying out brazen and deadly attacks. but on the other side many people are unhappy with the way he decide. he was killed in an u.s. drone strike. but it's not just the government and, indeed, the state that is angry about this drone operation carried out by the u.s. many people feel that way as well. we went to the streets to gain opinion. this is what people have to say. >> americans have absolutely no right to cause this type of destruction in our country

through these types of attacks. i believe this is criminal. >> the person killed in the american was a muslim. he was our brother. this should not have happened. there should be no drone attacks in the first place. >> it makes the presence of dialogue difficult when masood is dead. 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 the fact that the gun that was used in this attack, a serbian pistol, is clean in terms of a crime record. no other criminal acts have been known criminal acts have been committed with this weapon, ballistic tests show. it has become even murkier. it's unusual for a terrorist group in greece not to use the same weapon again and again.

that's its signature. that's one of the ways the police corroborate claim of responsibility that follows a terrorist attack. this is how it's been done for years. so this clean weapon the police call it, is a bit of a mystery. on the other hand, advocating in favor of a terrorist attack is the style of it. the fact that it was ahit job. two men, marksmen knowing how to strike in order to inflict death in the chest with a bullet wound to the head to make sure the victim is dead. that is a mafia style attack. it's a bit of a puzzle to the police exactly who has done this. >> very intriguing. now john, of course, this comes after a recent crackdown on golden dawn. has there been any more reaction from them? >> no, golden dawn has kept very quiet. they've asked the police to

expand every effort in finding the perpetrators. the latest on the forensic front is that a motorcycle has been found by the authorities that may have been the one used in this attack, and they're now examining it. golden dawn has also said it doesn't want its supporters to take to the streets and commit random acts of violence and retaliation. it is trying to show that it is going to behave in a responsible and disciplined manner. this particularly after indictment after six of its mps in september a month and a half ago in which they were accused of ordering criminal acts to be committed by golden dawn party, supporters and members against ideological and political opponents and immigrants as well. the party has try to distance itself from that kind of behavior, and show these kinds of accusations are unfunded. >> john reporting from athens.

movement, one of three groups who have been waging against the central rule. >> we've taken up arms only because of the wrong that colonialism has done to us. >> reporter: three other movements sign initial agreement lead to go a general election, but they have-- >> we're not warmongers. we have decided to fight for our rights. if we're not granted autonomy. which is our legitimate right, we're going to fight to the last bullet. we're going fight to the last bullet. [ yelling ] >> reporter: even owe though they call themselves the arab movement, their goal is political autonomy for all the

components of the society, and they say they work in full cooperation with the other groups. some of the youth have been involved in drug trafficking, but they have other grievances. >> no single child here has a high school degree. every few years we get expelled to refugee camps. we have suffered enough, and the world should come to our rescue, and return to the land and those who are foreigners should leave. >> reporter: the rebels have recently managed to put aside their travel rivalries with the movement, and announced their collective movement in peace talks. they say their patience with the mali government is running out, and there will be speedy response to their demands or

right now. >> reporter: well, i'm in a military base that originally belonged to the government, and then the rebels took it from them last year. the government took it back just a few days ago when the rebels retreated. you can see the gun behind me that rebels have to leave mind. it looks like they poured petro all ovepetrolall over it and trt it on fire, but they think they can get it going again. they think they're going to get this fixed up and fight the rebels soon. if we move the camera across to the right you can see a hill in the distance. this is one of the three hills where the last of the rebels remain and the government has been bombing them with tanks and artillery. the government has said today the final for the rebels to come

in and lay down their weapons. if they do not, then they're going to go in and finish them off. but these hills are very steep and it will be difficult. >> those talks have failed, but with this final ultimatum, does this mean that the amnesty is off the table? >> reporter: they never wanted to give amnesty to the leaders. some of the leaders of the m 23 rebels are on the u.n. sanctions list. those who surrendered said they don't want to fight any more and they wanting to back to civilian life or join the congolese army. but it seems that they may be

willing to sign a deal that gives any kind of amnesty to the leaders. >> malcolm webb reporting from the congo military base. closing migrant camps, the government decided to do so after 92 people died of thirst trying to cross the sahara desert. officials also promise to severely punish the traffickers who move people through to m nir or libya. in an interview recorded a few weeks, al jazeera has obtained a copy of the recording that was never made public. egypt's constitution was suspended after the president mohammed morsi was deposed. >> the military institution should be given immunity for the role it has played. it is not an immune for fatah,

internal bleeding. something that has affected her and her three children. she has been taking anti-depressants for year. >> because of all that i've gone through i feel scared when i think about my daughter. i do not want her to marry. i want her to continue her education. my daughter has not been able to forget the beatings that i suffered for many years. >> reporter: she has been granted a divorce, and her terrible experience and determination to ban child marriages seems to have finally paid off. members of the organization drafting yemen's new constitution say that the charter would set the minimum age for marriage at 18. but some clerics and tribal leaders say they will block the motion of the country's transition to elections expected early next year. >> we don't have any problems related to child marriage. most of the cases are fabricated

so foreign institutions impose on yemen. >> reporter: a we hadding i we e capitol. a relative of the bride pays tribute to her and her tribe. then a poet praising the groom. but weddings in yemen are not always this happy. >> this is a country where marrying off young girls to older men is a common practice. we may never know the exact number of the child brides because yemen is a conservative society. and anyone who speaks out against forced marriages may find themselves rejected by their family. >> reporter: here a storyteller praises yemen's past. but it is a presence that will shape the country's future. a future where underage marriage will finally be considered a crime.

involved in the vicious attacks against american forces. in pakistan, yes, it is a mixed feel. the general feeling that it is a good riddance. he was supposed to be involved or masterminded most of those attacks but also some kind o destructed the peace process in the country. >> before they were meant to start peace talks do you think the u.s. has stopped the one chance pakistan has for peace?

>> no, i don't think there were any plans for peace. it was very concern that the taliban were not interested in peace, but the government had offered them an olive branch. there were some contacts made with the taliban, but there were not any serious progress made in this direction. i don't think this was meant to start the peace process with the taliban. the u.s. had tried to hit him several times in the past, and i think they guard the information at this point of how he was killed. >> we have much more on this story on our website, of course. you can always click on our in-depth selection at www.aljazeera.com. we have a graphic about the pakistani taliban and it's

$10 a month. but few are lucky enough to get anything from the state. the culture in afghanistan leaves responsibility for the elderly to their children. but for many here that simply means a small amount of food. most are like this man. he is not sure how old he is. perhaps 65. for him age doesn't matter. he must keep working to survive. it's grueling labor chopping wood. he guess less than $2 for chopping half a ton of logs. >> this is the $0.70 i've made so far. that is today's work. god is great. maybe by the evening i'll make another $1 and then i'll pay $0.35 to take the bus home and then i will buy potatoes and bread. then i'll come tomorrow to do it
