Taleban leader killed in Pakistan - report



The Afghan media is reporting that Mullah Mohmmad Omar, the leader of the Taleban, has been found and killed, although there is no official confirmation at this stage.
Mullah Omar was shot dead as he was being moved from Quetta to North Waziristan two days ago, according to Afghan news outlet TOLOnews.
He was the spiritual leader of the Taleban movement that operates in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan, operating as Afghanistan's de facto head of state from 1996 to late 2001, under the official title 'Head of the Supreme Council'.
The FBI has been hunting Mullah Omar since October 2001 for sheltering Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda militants in the years prior to the September 11 attacks.
News that he has been killed comes three weeks after US president Barack Obama confirmed that bin Laden had been found and shot dead in Pakistan.

[ComradePashtun]

Lets see, it is been reported by TOLO channel, not exactly I would trust this channel.

[ComradePashtun]

Thaks Mayana, now that could be a more reliable source. But which Mullah is it, the Afghan or Pakistani?

[ComradePashtun]

If its the Afghan, then Pakistan is in it.

I wonder how it came about so quickly and what will the implications be (true or false)?

[afghan]

was he in karachi in naval air base?

[ComradePashtun]

Oh man seems like a really dodgy news made up by Tolo, I know they are too capable of that. I still have massive big big big doubts.

[BLS_1919v2.0]

^^same here but a few other news sources are talking about it.

[ComradePashtun]

Now it is not the air strik which killed but ISI and Haqani

Mullah Omar killed in Pakistan

KABUL (PAN): Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, was killed by Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Haqqani Network in Pakistan, a security source said on Monday.


Omar has been recently killed by ISI and Haqqani Network when he was traveling from Quetta City to North Waziristan, an Afghan security official said on condition of anonymity.


Pakistani ISI had asked Mullah Omar through its former chief, Gen. Hameed Gul, to shift to North Waziristan, a tribal elder of Pakistan, having border with Afghanistan, the source said.


Pakistan wanted to assassinate Omar near Afghanistan border to show that he did not live in urban areas of Pakistan, but was found in remote area. They wanted to prove that the terrorists were not only present in Pakistan, but they were in both sides of the border, the source added.


Pakistan has come under the pressure of US and international community after the death of Al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden, on May.2, 2011 in Aibbotabad town near Islamabad, he said.


Independent sources have so far said nothing about the death of the Taliban leader, he said.


US president, Barak Obama had said on Sunday that, if they got information about the location of Mullah Omar in Pakistan, they would again conduct operation in the country.
