Claims and counterclaims about Mehsud's fate have swirled since a CIA drone strike last Wednesday on his father-in-law's house in Pakistan's rugged, lawless tribal area.

President Barack Obama's national security adviser, James Jones, now says all indications are that Mehsud was killed - and he calls Mehsud 'a real thug.' Jones also says it appears there is now a fight within the top ranks of the remaining Pakistani Taliban organization.

Jones told "Fox News Sunday" that Mehsud's apparent death and the power struggle are good signs of progress in Pakistan.
