KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (Reuters) - Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar vowed a ferocious offensive against U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan, saying on Thursday they would soon face unimaginable violence.
An insurgency that has killed more than 1,500 people since the start of last year has intensified in recent months with a wave of suicide bombings, including at least 12 this year.
Ten U.S. troops have been killed in combat this year and U.S. commanders have said they expect violence to increase in coming months as the weather warms, snow on mountain passes melts, and Afghanistan's traditional fighting season begins.
"With the arrival of the warm weather, we will make the ground so hot for the invaders it will be unimaginable for them," Omar said in his message, read by Taliban spokesman Mohammad Hanif over the telephone from an undisclosed location.
The fugitive Taliban leader, who carries a $10 million reward, also said a stream of young Afghans were volunteering for suicide missions, the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press news agency said.
Last week, Afghan President Hamid Karzai called for more Pakistani cooperation in fighting militants after Islamabad derided Kabul's accusations that Mullah Omar was in Pakistan.
On Wednesday, Afghanistan's Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah said he was sure the Taliban leader was not in Afghanistan, although Taliban spokesmen insist Omar is leading the insurgency from his homeland.
"Mullah Omar is not in Afghanistan, that's as much as I can say with a degree of certainty," Abdullah told Reuters during a visit to the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur.
Afghan officials complain that the Taliban use Pakistan's tribal regions as a springboard for attacks, and despite Islamabad's denials, many suspect Pakistan harbors long term ambitions to have a pro-Pakistan government in Kabul.

Hey, towelhead. We have H-bombs. We've got a lot more than you could ever imagine.
What a horrible religion it must be to make its slaves want to kill themselves as their only means to escape from it.
How will you tell the difference between the "regulars" and the bombers?
The Taliban Song by Toby Keith
"I'm just a middle-aged, middle-eastern camel herdin' man
I got a little, 2 bedroom cave here in North Afghanistan
Things used to be real nice and they got out of hand when they moved in
They call themselves the Taliban
(ooooo yeah the taliban) (taliban baby)
Now I ain't seen my wife's face since they came here
They make her wear a scarf over her head that covers her from ear to ear
She loves the desert and the hot white sand
But man she's just like me, nah she can't stand
The Taliban (ooo taliban baby)
You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do just fine out around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to the Taliban
(oh yeah the taliban) (baby)
I know where you comin from brother!
This is a patriotic love song
So y'all feel free to salute if you want,
You got my permission.
Now they attacked New York City cause they thought they could win
Said they would, stand and fight until the very bloody end
Mr Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said "Now, you
sons-of-bitches you better not be doin any business with the taliban"
(Taliban baby)
So we prayed to Allah with all of our might
Until those big U.S. jets came flyin one night
They dropped little bombs all over their holy land
And man you should have seen em run like rabbits, they ran
(the taliban)
You know someday soon we're both gonna saddle up and it'll be
Ride Camel Ride
My old lady she'll be here with me, smilin right by my side
We should do real fine out around Palestine or maybe Turkmenistan
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip a couple fingers to the Taliban
(oh yeah, taliban)
we'll bid a fair adieu and flip a big boner to The Taliban (baby)"
They should put the t-shirts up on eBay.

We need a mix of well-directed precision guided munitions and guys with silenced .22's, and a bunch of severed heads in duffel bags.
All in the name of the religion of peace.
If they commit actions described in your Rules of Engagement, they are bombers.
If there is a big secondary explosion right after you light them up, they were definitely bombers.
Bring it on you pig F@(%er
But don't you see these bombers mingling with the locals at the marketplaces (malls), etc. and not giving off any suspicion?
they should attack Yale instead.
"Hey, towelhead. We have H-bombs. We've got a lot more than you could ever imagine."
Yeah, we may as well see if they still work!
Or Saudi Arabia...
Is this really a song? Yikes.
Killing locals makes them unpopular. Al Qaeda In Iraq tried that and got dimed out, big time.
Is that like trout season?
I'm sure Mulla Omar had more army when we ran his a** out
the first time. Don't think he can muster the same people to make the ground hot. However, he may be able to make the ground more red with blood if he trys this great feat.
Who knows, his other good eye may have gone bad on him and he isn't seeing things too well.
uh yeah....a live version is on the 2003 Shock'n Y'All album together with lots of cheering from the crowd.
