Taliban Leader Mullah Mohammed Omar Died Three Years Ago Says Afghan Intelligence
Hey, thanks for letting us know!
A senior Afghan intelligence agency official told CNN on Wednesday that Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar died two years and four months ago in a hospital in Karachi, Pakistan, of an unknown illness…
The BBC and the Wall Street Journal reported earlier Wednesday that unnamed sources in Afghanistan were saying the reclusive Islamist militant leader was dead.
Omar’s death has long been rumored, yet always dismissed by the Taliban. Twice in 2011, the Taliban denied speculation that he had been killed.
Earlier this year, the Taliban published a “biography” of the reclusive Afghan leader, saying he was still in charge. The piece appeared on a Taliban website. The goal of the biography, experts said, was to dispel rumors that he died, possibly years ago.

And just two weeks ago, the Taliban released a statement attributed to Omar, saying he backed peace talks between the Taliban and the Afghan government.

First it was them harboring Bin Laden and now this. This proves without a doubt that the Pakistani’s are not our friends, so why does Obama continue to kowtow to them?
