Mullah Mohammad Omar, the obscure, one-eyed zealot who led the Taliban from its beginnings as a band of student insurrectionists through a fateful alliance with Osama bin Laden, to military defeat following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the movement’s re-emergence as an insurgency that threatened the American occupation in Afghanistan, died more than two years ago in Pakistsan, according to Afghanistan’s intelligence agency and the office of Afghan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani. The cause of death was unclear.

--To be fair he needs 72 one-eyed virgins.

Word is not enough one-eyed available; substituting with 36 two-eyed.

He had been well known to be in Karachi, suffering from of hepatitis. His command absence has been noted for several years.

What is odd is the lack of bickering over whom would assume command. Very likely he may just be incapacitated.

The Pakistani’s have announced his death twice before.

I'll believe it when they lower the flag flying over the White House.

LOL, sad but true that such confirmation is required.
