We had our differences earlier, we fought and learned lessons, yet most of the Indians and Pakistanis want to fight to just see who is strong in the ever changing times. War brings more suffering and more of hatred in the post will result one day so chaotic that we will regret for the posts what we write to day on going to war with each other.

no the real problem is that we all start trolling instead of debating

It's very strange and suspicious that suddenly these days and weeks we hear news of high profile so called terrorists like OBL or Mullah Omar are being killed. 'SUDDENLY', they get information where they're hiding. This show of American drama is I think a preparation of the withdrawal from the region and shifting the focus onto Pakistan so they don't want to be seen by the world as 'the defeated yankees' in the 'graveyard of empires'. So, they want to show us some kind of success/victory and that, all the problems America had were/are roosted from Pakistan. Damn they are clever people, and once again Pakistan has been used as a fillthy wh0re just like they were during Afghan war. What a pity...

Some of the afghan intelligence said off camera to Afghan TV that he is killed. But when the Afghan TV reporter wanted him to say that please say this on camera the officer refused and said you can run this news as background information. There is no confirmation on this.

Mullah Omar killed in Pakistan: Report

Published: May 23, 2011

Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar has been killed in Pakistan, an Afghan television channel reported on Monday.

A source in the Afghan National Directorate of Security has said that the Taliban leader was killed in a Nato operation two days back, TOLO News reported.

Initial reports say that Omar was being shifted from Quetta to Waziristan by a former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief.

A senior Pakistani security official said he could not confirm that Omar had been killed.
“I am making queries,” the official said, requesting anonymity. “I can’t confirm it.”

This is the second high profile killing inside Pakistan after al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden was killed in a United States (US) secret raid in Abbottabad.

The US had earlier said that it would consider all its options, including a raid inside Pakistan, if it knew the whereabouts of Omar.

US officials have long maintained Omar fled to Pakistan after the Taliban government was overthrown in late 2001 by US-backed Afghan forces. But Islamabad has denied reports he is in Pakistan.

Taliban spokesman says Mullah Omar alive: Afghan news agency

(Reuters) - Taliban leader Mullah Omar is alive, a spokesman for the militant group said, according to a Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press news agency.

"Reports regarding the killing of Amir-ul-Moemineen (Omar) are false. He is safe and sound," Afghan Taliban spokesman Qari Muhamad Yousaf told AIP.

Afghanistan's privately owned TOLO television reported earlier Omar had been killed in Pakistan, while on the way from Quetta to North Waziristan.

Taliban leader Mullah Omar may be dead, Afghan official says
Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Mullah Mohammed Omar, the leader of the Afghan Taliban, has disappeared in the past five days, said Lutfullah Mashal, a spokesman for Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security. Mashal said he "hopes" Omar is dead but cannot confirm it.

"Our sources and senior Taliban members confirm that they can't contact him," Mashal said, adding that Omar had been living in Quetta, Pakistan, for 10 years.

But the Afghan Taliban forcefully denied reports their leader is dead, dismissing them as "claims and rumors" from the "Kabul stooge regime's intelligence directorate."

"We strongly reject these false claims of the enemy," spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said in a statement urging "our fellow countrymen, Mujahideen and the rest of the Muslims not to believe these intelligence lies and false reports."

Omar "is alive and well and is leading the Mujahideen in all aspects while living safely with reliance on Allah," he said.

A former top Pakistani intelligence official called the reports "nonsense" and "disinformation," but then said he had no idea whether the Taliban leader is alive or dead.

"How should I know? I'm not concerned with it," Gen. Hamid Gul said on IBN television.

"Am I supposed to be transporting him from Quetta to Waziristan? It's nonsense," he said by telephone from Islamabad.

Pakistan's ISI intelligence agency is thought to have had strong links with the Afghan Taliban over the years.

Omar was a rural Islamic cleric when became a leader of a group of students -- or "taliban" -- who took over Afghanistan in the early 1990s and established a hard-line Islamic fundamentalist regime that gave shelter to Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda terrorist network.

U.S. Navy SEALs killed bin Laden on May 2 in Pakistan, nearly a decade after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

The United States led an invasion of Afghanistan soon after the attacks, toppling Omar's Taliban and sending bin Laden into hiding.

The reclusive Omar refused to be photographed or filmed and rarely traveled. He infrequently gave interviews and was thought to have met only two non-Muslims in recent years.

Nonetheless what Omar said passed as law when the Taliban ruled Afghanistan, and to challenge him was unknown.

The "commander of the faithful," as he had become known, created the Taliban in the early 1990s and was their spiritual guide.

Those who had met him said he cast an imposing figure -- bearded with a black turban and one eye stitched shut; the result of a wound sustained during a gunfight with Soviet troops during their occupation of Afghanistan.

In the wake of the Soviet withdrawal, Omar created the Taliban to overcome what he saw as Afghanistan's descent into warlordism and lawlessness.

His recruits came from the Islamic schools within Afghanistan and in the Afghan refugee camps across the border in Pakistan. Driven largely by faith, they swept across the country.

Before the final assault on Kabul in 1996, Omar entered Kandahar's grand mosque and took out a rarely seen holy cloth thought once to have been carried by the Prophet Mohammed.

Waving it from a rooftop he received an ecstatic response from his Taliban foot soldiers.

Inspired by religious fervor, they moved on to take Kabul within a matter of days, bolstering Omar's belief in his spiritual destiny.

With most of the country under Taliban control, he set himself the goal of transforming Afghanistan into the purest Islamic state in the world, declaring himself Amir-ul-Momineen, or head of the Muslims.

While many ordinary Afghans disagreed with his hardline interpretation of Islam, others were willing to endure the Taliban's excesses in exchange for the relative peace they brought to the territory they controlled.

But in building the perfect Islamic state, he had little regard for the concerns of the outside world.

Public executions and amputations were common and the Taliban's treatment of women attracted much international condemnation.

In 2001, he rejected pressure from around the world -- including from many Muslim countries -- not to go ahead with plans to demolish two ancient statues of the Buddha carved into cliffs near the town of Bamiyan.

The statues, described by many as world-class cultural relics, were blown to bits.

Mullah Omar dismissed the global outcry, saying the statues' destruction was merely "breaking stones."

After a U.S.-led coalition booted the Taliban and its leaders from power in Afghanistan in December 2001 for refusing to hand over Osama bin Laden after the 9/11 terror attacks, Omar vanished.

Omar's appearance remained a mystery to many, and that presented a challenge to those on his trail, according to Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

"If I come across him tomorrow in the streets of Kabul or Kandahar or Herat or Mazar in Afghanistan, I would not recognize him," Karzai told CNN in 2003. "How would you arrest someone that you don't know how he looks?"

The Taliban, citing ultra-orthodox views of Islam, outlawed photographs of people, saying making any image of a human being was forbidden by the Quran.

But intelligence agencies argued that another key purpose of that move was this: If the leaders of the Taliban could keep anyone from taking their pictures, it would be very hard to track them down or prove they were the men in charge during the Taliban's most brutal and repressive days.

The U.S. government offered a reward of up to $10 million for information leading to his capture. Many in the U.S. intelligence community believed he was holed up in or near Quetta, a city of 1 million people that is the capital of Balochistan province in southwestern Pakistan. But Pakistan has consistently dismissed those claims.

Occasionally, the elusive leader would release a written message to reiterate that the Taliban had not given up its fight to regain control of Afghanistan from American and NATO troops.

The battle "is forging ahead like a powerful flood" and "is approaching the edge of victory," said one such online message in 2009.

CNN's Christine Theodorou and Journalist Matiullah Mati contributed to this report.
