Two Taliban spokesmen have said their phones had been hacked and messages sent out that their leader Mullah Omar was dead, media reports say.
One of the spokesmen Zabihullah Mujahid told Reuters that the "Americans have hacked our cellphones with advanced technology and sent the messages".
Mullah Omar's death was reported in May by sections of the media, including an Afghan TV channel.
Pakistani and US officials had dismissed the reports.
Mullah Omar has evaded capture, despite one of the largest manhunts and is believed to be guiding the resurgent Taliban.
The AFP news agency said that a message went out from Zabihullah Mujahid's phone announcing the death of Mullah Omar.
The spokesman denied this, and said the Taliban would take "revenge on the telephone network providers".

I thought dead had his eye out for Mullah Omar.
That guy is a savage.
Now, if he had been overcharged for his calling plan, then maybe he would have had a point. In fact, maybe I would have considered supporting his actions :-). But for Mullah Omar? Give me a break...
Are they sure it wasn’t one of Rupert Murdoch’s jouralists?
Ohmar, I read in enemy paper that infidels believe something called “phone hacking” very bad. We must accuse our enemies with this thing.
more proof that the Taliban reads Kos and DU before writing their press releases

Parliament will, no doubt, hold hearings on this soon.....
No doubt the lefties will be jumping on the bandwagon to blame this on Rupert Murdoch as well.

Yes. Be sure to blow up all the cell towers in Pak and Afghan. That should put you goons back at least 30 years and make it easier to isolate and vaporize you.

This was our way of telling MR. Taliban Spokesman that you better get your comrades to come to the table. This tactic is also an excellent way to see who joins in the gossip festival.
I wanna see an Osama repeat with the one eyed Mullah.
Mullah Omar: “But, I’m not dead yet.”
“Are so!”
“Are not!!”
“Are so!!!”
“Oh, dear.”
