The leader of the Afghan Taliban, Mullah Mohammed Omar, has died, Afghan officials say, but the militant group has not commented on the claim.
The reclusive leader died two to three years ago, Afghan government and intelligence sources said. No further details were released.
A Taliban spokesman contacted by the BBC said the group would issue a statement shortly.
There have been several reports of Mullah Omars death in the past. However, this is the first to be confirmed by top sources in the Afghan government.

Hahahaha
Died in a hospital bed 2 years ago they say. He’s been reported dead roughly 600 times before but this is the first time Afgan intelligence has confirmed it.
Yay? This prick should have been flayed alive. That 10 million dollar bounty may as well have been 10 cents for all the good it did. Afghanistan, hide and go seek capital of the world.
He had been well known to be in Karachi, suffering from of hepatitis. His command absence has been noted for several years.
What is odd is the lack of bickering over whom would assume command. Very likely he may just be incapacitated.
The Pakistanis have announced his death twice before.
THAT’S COOL!!!
