Reply #1: US says Mullah Omar 'in Pakistan'

[ohio2007]

The government in Islamabad isn't strong enough to enforce law in its own country let alone control its own ISI agency that operates above the law. Seems the Iranian invasion talk will turn to Pakistan invasion ?


US says Mullah Omar 'in Pakistan'
Taleban leader Mullah Omar and al-Qaeda commanders, including Osama Bin Laden, are living in Pakistan, a senior US official has told reporters.
He said senior Taleban leaders were in hiding with Mullah Omar in Quetta, from where they co-ordinated the insurgency in Afghanistan.

Quetta is the capital of rugged Balochistan province which borders Afghanistan. Last month, captured Taleban spokesman Muhammad Hanif made similar claims about Mullah Omar's whereabouts, which were rejected by Pakistan.

Mr Hanif said Mullah Omar was protected by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai made similar allegations last year. The ISI was instrumental in backing the Taleban after civil war swept Afghanistan following the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989.
