COLLINS: A new attack on Taliban fighters in Pakistan. Happening in the same region where the Taliban leader in Pakistan, was reportedly killed last week. But there are now questions about that this morning. CNN's Cal Perry has more now from Islamabad, Pakistan.</s>CAL PERRY, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: The second U.S. drone attack in less than a week, occurring today. At least 10 people have been killed according to Pakistani sources. The location -- the very same as that strike that occurred on Wednesday, that reportedly killed Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud. Now, the Pakistani government at this point sticking with their line saying they are confident that he's been killed. But they are not 100 percent confirming. They are waiting for that key DNA evidence. Now, CNN was able to speak to a Taliban spokesman who is challenging the government claims saying that Baitullah Mehsud is actually alive but that he is ill, suffering of diabetes. The spokesman added, as soon as he's better he will give a statement. The government for their part, challenging everything the Taliban is saying, saying to the Taliban, prove it. Show us some proof. In this day in age, they say, with technology the way it is, it should not be hard for Baitullah Mehsud to make some kind of a statement. Regardless of who was killed in these air strikes, what seems to be important when you speak to officials here on the ground, they tell you the amount of air strikes in such a short period of time has the Taliban on the run. The government claiming that the group is literally disintegrating from within and that is it these air strikes that are keeping this group on the run and unable to carry out attacks. The Interior Ministry telling CNN over the weekend, the Taliban has only two choices -- surrender or death. Cal Perry, CNN, Islamabad.</s>COLLINS: I'm Heidi Collins. Thanks for watching, everybody.
