Supporters of Pakistan's outlawed Islamic hardline Jamaat ud Dawa (JD) carry placards as they shout anti-US slogans during a protest against the US drone strikes in the Pakistani tribal region, in Islamabad on November 8, 2013. The Pakistani Taliban appointed hardline cleric, Maulana Fazlullah linked to the attack on Malala Yousafzai as their new chief and dismissed proposed peace talks with the government as a "waste of time". Maulana Fazlullah, notorious for leading the militants' brutal two-year rule in Pakistan's northwestern Swat valley, was elected to replace Hakimullah Mehsud, who was killed in a US drone strike last week .
