ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) -- Negotiations for the surrender of Taliban spiritual leader Mullah Mohammad Omar are under way in southern Afghanistan, a commander for the local Afghan intelligence chief told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

"We have confirmed reports that Mullah Mohammad Omar is hiding somewhere in Baghran," said commander Jamal Khan, who added that Afghan military leaders have been negotiating for two days with Baghran's loya jirga, or grand council, of tribal leaders.

Find him and kill him.

Who wants to bet that bin Laden is with him and these "negotiations" are another ploy by bribed Afghan leaders to help bin Laden escape?

Funny how they call him the "spirtual leader" and forget to mention that he is also a ruthless murder of his own people and Americans.

Glad to see the media is not biased...yeah right.

Yea, how many times will we fall for this negotiation (give us time to escape) stuff? The victims of 9 -11 were not given a chance for negotiations!
