Mullah Omar hiding in Pakistan?
According to the BBC, the one-eyed fascist is under the protection of Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI:
Taleban leader Mullah Omar is living in Pakistan under the protection of its ISI intelligence agency, a captured Taleban spokesman has said.
The spokesman, Muhammad Hanif, made the apparent confession to Afghan agents who videotaped the questioning.
Mr Hanif is seen sitting in a dimly-lit room telling agents that Mullah Omar is in the city of Quetta. Correspondents confirm the voice is his.
Mullah Omar has not been seen since 2001. Pakistan rejected the claims.
News from this region is notoriously unreliable, but I'm inclined to believe it. Ever since the reign of dictator-president Zia ul-Haq, Pakistan's military has been increasingly Islamized, and the intelligence service was the Taliban's prime patron. Sadly, Pakistan is still of crucial importance to us in the Long War, otherwise I'd recommend a Predator drone and a couple of Hellfire missiles, if we know where this safe house is.
