I got this link from Michael Yon. It needs confirmation from more serious sources, to be sure, but it could be real news....

Hi Admins-

This article, if true, _would_ be important news, but it _isn’t_ from a widely recognized news source.

Please feel free to refile to a different place, adjust the title as you see fit, etc., etc.

Hmmm. I sense a deal turning Afghanistan over to the Taliban in the making.

Check the BBC. I don’t have a link. Again the radio news is repeating that the BBC is saying Mullah Omar is dead.

If true, you need a new tagline!

Given your tagline, you might find this interesting.

Hoping it to be true, but seems he has been killed before, has more lives than a cat.

Here's the latest from Michael Yon on Facebook:

Michael Yon
Status of 'Omar Dead' reports

One very high level source said still trying to confirm. If that source doesn't know yet, it's simply not known yet.

“Mullah Mohammad Omar has been killed and his body is under postmortem studies at the coroners’ office,” a senior Afghan official told FNA this morning on the condition of anonymity.

Different guy, similar name. Still a good kill, though.

There are a couple of odd articles from a few days ago that they were setting this guy up for a kill. Does that make sense?? NO!!!
