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.

So now he is a man in a wheelchair, if this is true.

"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.

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.

This was posted on Thursday referencing a Dawn (Pakistan) story:
"The US forces continued their operation to arrest Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar in Southern Afghanistan, Radio Mashed reports. The forces conducted house to house search operation in Uruzgan province in this connection. The US and Afghan forces in a joint operation in Helmand province carried out house to house search for the identification and arrest of Taliban. (PPI) (Posted @ 15:00 PST)"
