Report: Taliban chief Mulla Omar seriously injured, four of his body guards killed in U.S. bombing raids (DPA)

I thought this guy had already been arrested by US forces.

Is he the only one injured/killed or were there others? We need to captured or kill these jihadists by the dozens, not just one at the time.

[umgud]

We need to dance in the street and pass out candy.

Omar's been reported to have seizures which he believes lead to divine revelations.

Mulla Omar seriously injured

John Kerry deeply saddened.

You hearing anything about Mulla Omar being injured?

[Army Air Corps]

We can send "daisies."

I imagine after the recent Pakistan fiasco, the newswires are a bit gunshy. Not that what's happening in Packistan is bad, it just hasn't lived up to the original headlines.

[nuconvert]

Can't hurt to put out a few calls to Europe.

A little more info:

ISLAMABAD, March 29: Taliban supreme leader Mulla Mohammad Omar was seriously wounded and four of his body guards killed in a U.S. bombing blitz in the middle of March, the Urdu-lanugage daily Ausaf reported today. Quoting Dr. Jabbar Aziz, the paper claimed the raid on the Taliban chief's hideout in the southern Zabul province resulted in serious injuries to Omar's legs and the left side of his body. He is now out of danger but would not be able to move for about two months, the paper quoted Dr. Aziz as saying, without explaining how and where the conversation took place.

Isn't he also fond of sitting in pickups and saying "Vroom, Vrrrooom, Vrooooom..?

Maybe he got his hands on a Toyota and will never let go.

Ping.

"He is now out of danger but would not be able to move for about two months, the paper quoted Dr. Aziz as saying, without explaining how and where the conversation took place."

Oh, this is just pure speculation that Omar is even injured. Once again, a wild goose chase is about to happen.

[BurbankKarl]

was that the Australian Jag officer? oh wait, that guy killed himself...


(the show)

middle of March

WTF?

[LdSentinal]

I remember that bombing.

The Afghans said that the US killed 5 civilians in that bombing.

The US insisted that it was 5 terrorists in the house.

Looks like the latter was right.

I will believe it when we have his head on a stake... :)
