Mullah Omar ‘Hiding In Pakistan’
Here is some more startling news that is likely to create a storm. Taleban leader Mullah Omar is living in Pakistan under the protection of its ISI intelligence agency, a captured Taleban spokesman has said, according to the BBC.
“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 (Pakistan). Correspondents confirm the voice is his.
“Mullah Omar has not been seen since 2001. Pakistan rejected the claims.”

As of 2005 the US gives Pakistan 600 million dollars a year in aid both military and economic.
Are we getting our money’s worth yet?
This comes from a captured Taliban operative under interrogation by Afghani officials. It would definitely be to al Qaeda and the Taliban’s advantage to stir up trouble between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and between the U.S. and Pakistan, so I’m taking this claim with more than a grain of salt. Mullah Omar and Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al Zwahiri may or may not be in Pakistan, but this report adds very little, if any, corroborating support to that possibility.
But I thought coersive interagation(sp) was a Bush policy. This info is as valid as the Gitmo and rendition info.

Imho it is much more likely that this will be totally ignored by the US MSM, Swaraaj.
I agree Gray. At times I use cliches!!!
