Oh yeah a legitimate target? Even if 3000 people attends the funeral, such as they did in Ghazni? This statement I find troubling and in contradiction with the aspiration of majority of the people of Afghanistan which wants peace and reconciliation.
First of all, if one assumes that Mullah Omar was alive then the Afghan government would be still pleading to make peace with him and solemnly thanking him as the president did in eid.
This is like the British Army targeting Republican crowd mourning a Sinn Fein or IRA leader back in 70s at the peak of IRA terror attacks.
The NDS is over-reacting and making itself look stupid, I doubt president Ghani has been consulted on this otherwise I am sure a more precise statement would have been released if he would have thought one needed to be released.
Well, some time I myself react in heat of the moment and rightly so especially when an act of terror is committed by Taliban and people are killed. But one must be honest, this conflict has its chronology and dynamics that the Afghan government, the NDS and internationally community has not overcome. NDS should be cognizant of the fact that what and the reason that led to the rise of Taliban were bachbazi, rapes, killing and ethnic chavunism perpetuated by the known killers the NDS is probably referring to them as excellencies and what not. Give us a break jack ass who has churned the below nonsense.

KABUL (Pajhwok): Banning all mourning ceremonies for deceased Taliban leader Mullah Omar, the spy agency on Monday warned that any gatherings condoling his death would be a “legitimate target” for Afghan forces.
The announcement comes hours after Afghan forces targeted a funeral ceremony in absentia for Omar in the Qarah Bagh district of southern Ghazni province, five kilometers from Ghazni City, the provincial capital.
“Mullah Omar was the biggest cause of war and backwardness in the modern history of Afghanistan,” the National Directorate of Security (NDS) said in a statement.
It said Mullah Omar was responsible for the killing of thousands of Afghans and any commemoration or mourning ceremonies for him were an insult to the thousands of martyrs of the nation.
It said all security and defence forces had been directed that such rallies were “a legitimate military target.” The statement urged local residents not to participate in such sessions.
The statement claimed Mullah Omar had been mysteriously killed in April 2013 in a hospital in Pakistan’s port city of Karachi.
Also on Monday, Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Seddiqi told a press conference that a handful of individuals who had the blood of Afghans on their hands took part in memorial ceremonies for Mullah Omar.
Without going into details, he said the people knew the individuals who participated in the commemoration sessions.
Two days ago, the High Peace Council acting head Abdul Hakim Mujahid and some Harkat-i-Inqilabi Islami Party members attended a memorial service for Mullah Omar in Kabul
