Taliban leader Mullah Omar killed in Pakistan

[Hindustani]

I don't know what you people don't understand. Only some random weird afghan station is reporting the news and other news agencies have just taken the afghan news channels words. No American/Pakistan official has said anything to confirm the news. afghan news channels are known to have dubious sources and are not reliable

Well apparently Chinese, pakistani and India media is reporting it as well...

Afghan TV claims Mullah Omar killed, Taliban deny

DAWN.COM (11 minutes ago) Today

ISLAMABAD: A senior Pakistani security official said on Monday he could not confirm a media report that Taliban leader Mullah Omar had been killed.

“I am making queries,” the official said, requesting anonymity. “I can’t confirm it.”

On Monday, Afghanistan’s privately owned TOLO television reported Omar had been killed in Pakistan, while on the way from Quetta to North Waziristan. There was no immediate comment from the Taliban.

Taliban leader Mullah Omar killed in Pakistan

KABUL, May 23 (Xinhua) -- Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar has been killed in Pakistan, a private television channel reported Monday.

"Mullah Omar was killed on way from Quetta to North Waziristan, " TOLO television said in its news bulletin.

However, it did not provide details on how he was killed and by whom.

Meanwhile, a security official confirmed the killing, saying, " It is correct that Mullah Omar has been killed."

The official emphasized that Mullah Omar was killed inside Pakistan.

Taliban militants fighting Afghan and NATO-led troops in Afghanistan have yet to make comment.

Mullah Omar has survived massive U.S. military manhunt since the collapse of Taliban regime by U.S-led invasion in late 2001 for sheltering al-Qaida chief Osama Bin Laden.

U.S. commandos killed Bin Laden in a raid on his hideout in Pakistan on May 2.

[DarK-LorD]

Why such news come out only on Monday?

 

[Gossipmonger]

Former ISI Chief Hamid Gul was escorting Mullah at the time of his killing enroute to Waziristan from Quetta, report suggesting. Mullah was killed 2 days back.

 

[Awesome]

Nothing other than TOLO News reporting this

 

[Dance]

Dawn news is saying that they have talked to security officals in Quetta and no one has heard of such an operation going on

 

[A1Kaid]

Why such news come out only on Monday?

So then the news story can dominate the headlines for the entire week. Pres. Obama did this with the assassination on OBL. Releasing major news either Sunday night or Monday...It's media strategy.

Dawn news is saying that they have talked to security officals in Quetta and no one has heard of such an operation going on

no surprises, If they were not able to track an operation like Osama's...how can they even know an operation for Mullah Omar is going on..

Taleban leader killed in Pakistan

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news...ectid=10727545

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.
