Mullah Omar missing from Pak

Afghanistan’s State Intelligence Agency has said that the Taliban supremo Mullah Omar is missing from his hideout in Pakistan for last few days but it can’t confirm reports that he has been killed. Agency spokesman Lutfullah Mashal told a press conference that Taliban leader was hiding in Quetta city of Pakistan for more than 10 years and their assessment is based upon intelligence inputs and reports from Taliban commanders.

Earlier, a local TV channel reported that Mullah Omar was shot dead as he was being moved from Quetta to North Waziristan by former ISI chief Gen. Hamid Gul two days ago. But the Afghan Taliban rejected the reports terming it as propaganda and claiming that he is in Afghanistan.
