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.

First this am I heard the 'possibilty' Omar 'may' have been gotten...then possibly in custody, then possibly in that attack and now this posted this eve...could it be?! And how far away is OBL from Omar? Is it a double-header?

I think we can be confident it won't be with those 72 virgins. If we're really lucky, he will be sleeping with those angry dumasses who believed the tale about the virgins. ;-)

Larry King talked about it at the beginning of his show.

From CNN's web site:

(CNN) -- U.S. warplanes launched a hastily arranged airstrike Tuesday against a compound southeast of Kandahar after receiving intelligence reports that Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar might be there, a senior Pentagon official told CNN.

Sources said the pilot reported hitting the compound, but officials said they did not know if anyone on the ground was killed, or if Omar was there.

Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told reporters that U.S. planes attacked a "leadership compound," but would not elaborate. He said the United States was assessing the damage.

Rumsfeld was visiting the U.S. Central Command in Florida when it ordered the attack.

LOL...pretended to be a car? Fragmented? LMAO! This is not supposed to be funny, but ROFLMAO anyhow!!!!

Mullah Omar, an early Christmas gift from the CIA. Thanks guys, we needed that.

[JustPiper]

Let's hope a couple of fragments are big enough to positively identify as Omar's.

Welp, thats what I heard on CNN tonight, the attack was severe enough to be but fragments...so...was he killed or was he captured and they will pretend he's dead? Or with all the talk the past 24 hrs that he would go down to the death be because they are giving him an out for surrendering, its our choice of guesses that gets me.

Not to carp or anything, but if I had Omar and Osama in front of me and a gun with two bullets in my hand, I'd shoot Osama twice to be sure.

"FOX seemed pretty sure"

I'll wait to see what the Pentagon says.
I still remember when FOX was pretty sure Gore won FL. LOL

Donald Rumsfeld said a high level command center was hit but he was non-committal with regard to whom was killed. He was being asked if Mullah Omar was killed I believe. Just like Rumsfeld. If he hasn't seen a picture he isn't going to confirm anything.

[JustPiper]

Who gets to keep Omar's eye???

LMAO tears rolling down...good one !!!
