Fox News Channel reports that it is trying to confirm news it has received from American military sources that Mullah Mohammed "Zoom Zoom" Omar may have pretended to be a car for the last time.
Omar is said to have been in one of two buildings destroyed by American air strikes tonight. The buildings command centers for the Taliban and AlQaeda, and housed offices of Wasa, the Saudi "reilef" agency funneling money to Osama and the Taliban.
The buildings were definitely hit; what is awaited is confirmation that Omar was among the fragmented.
He majored in animal husbandry... until they caught him at it one day....
Sabertooth, Post #9:One down?Rats if it's true! This is one time they should be lying?. . .MeeknMing, Post #155 FOX News reports that Pakistan is reporting Omar was not harmed. . .
Sabertooth, so, maybe just not yet. But thanks for the notice.
The former Taliban ambassador to Pakistan, Abdul Salaam Zaeef, said no top Taliban officials were in the compound at the time of the attack.He told the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press that the airstrikes targeted the house of a local Taliban leader in Kandahar's Dand area and not an al-Qaida base. He gave no details of casualties.
Zaeef said Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar ``is safe and sound. He hasn't been hurt, nor any other Taliban leader.''
