Mullah Omar's Taliban regime in Afghanistan sheltered Osama bin-Laden and his al-Qai'da network in the years prior to the September 11 attacks.
Although Operation Enduring Freedom removed the Taliban regime from power, Mullah Omar remains at large and represents a continuing threat to America and her allies.

“Mullah Omar orders Taliban to attack civilians, Afghan women”
By THOMAS JOSCELYN & BILL ROGGIO
July 28, 2010
PHOTO CAPTION: “Mullah Mohammed Omar, the Amir al Mumineen (”the commander of the faithful”) of the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban.”
SNIPPET: “The battle for hearts and minds in Afghanistan has taken a new turn in the past two months. The Taliban’s supreme leader, Mullah Omar, has ordered his forces to kill or capture any civilians, including Afghan women, who cooperate with Coalition forces. Omar’s latest directive contradicts his marching orders from just one year ago, when he told his Taliban commanders to refrain from harming civilians working with the Coalition.
Omar reportedly issued his latest order in June. NATO announced that it had recovered a copy of the directive in July. Since then, Afghan press outlets have published a translation of Omar’s five-point order.
The Long War Journal has received a translation of Omar’s order, as it appeared in the Afghan press, from US intelligence sources. Senior US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal say the order is most likely genuine.”
Cheers!
I’m keeping an eye out for Mullah Omar...

“EDITORIAL: A Wikileak too far
There are limits to press freedom in times of war”
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - The Washington Times 6:03 p.m., Thursday, July 29, 2010
SNIPPET: “
SNIPPET: “Word is out that the Wikileaks classified-document dump contains reports naming Afghans who have been cooperating with Coalition forces. This is the kind of information that can get people killed. It also raises the data release to a new level of criminality.
The Washington Times Editorial Board reviewed the reports in question on the day of their release but chose not to write about them because of the potential damage that revealing the information could do to the war effort as well as to cooperative Afghans. These secret reports have the greatest possibility of causing deadly consequences, which under the American legal tradition is why those who leaked them should be held accountable.”

Perhaps they would have better luck if they offered 72 virgins.

UPDATE: Bill Roggio on Mullah Omar CaptureI'm still uncertain as to what the validity of all that is though.
A tall, one-eyed raghead ought to stick out like a sore thumb at any convenience store.

Seriously, it really should be easy to capture this guy. I guess not, unless the rumor that he's been in custody in Pak for months is true.
At least his ingenuity has allowed you to snag the all time tagline longevity record.
