Mullah Omar Reported Dead
NBC News | October 10, 2001

Posted on 10/10/2001 4:27:47 PM PDT by Dog Gone

My wife just yelled upstairs to me that NBC News reports that Mullah Omar, leader of the Taliban, has reportedly been killed.

Can anyone confirm?

LOL... I think the Fabulous One is still alive and kicking.

About 3000 years old but I wouldn't want to mess with her!

Damn it, Brian Williams on MSNBC just said it was "mid-level" Taliban leaders and some members of Mullah Omar's family.

Oh well. Try and try again!

A case of wishful and, as yet, unfulfilled thinking?

Apparently someone at MSNBC got a case of happy fingers on the MSNBC ticker. It's been changed to reflect that it was relatives of Omar.

Which isn't to say that Omar is alive and well, either. Nobody has heard from him (that I'm aware of) in the last couple of days, and I'm not sure the Taliban would announce his death for fear of demoralizing the troops facing the Northern Alliance.

But this report is premature at this point.

Given the facts that this pitiful head case was already a little...uh..."jittery" before the high-intensity bombfest began, and that two of his homies have recently been blown sky high, he's probably not quite himself this evening. In fact, he probably looks like a pile of rick-rack writhing around on the floor. Maybe it's better that this freak stay alive -- I'd rather have a babbling idiot in control than a cool, calculating psychopath.

I asked this in another thread yesterday but got no reply that I know of. How will we know POSITIVELY that these people have actually been killed? Is there a history of fingerprints, DNA, dental records etc. I hope we have a way to prove to the world that we do, otherwise any announcment of their demise will be met with continued skepticism especially in the Islamic world.

KRLA 870 in Los Angeles, Hugh Hewitt's home station, reported a half anhour ago that two of Mullah Omar's brothers were killed in last night's bombing.

No further details.

I wonder, now that he is in his "heaven", if he will go first for one of the 74 virgins or one of the 24 boys that the koran promises? Yes, boys.

I was under the impression, Osama married Mulla's daughter.

God, I hope this is true. I won't believe it though until his head is on display hanging from a pike. Wonder if Omar in one of his delusional states decided to turn over Osama and got knocked off instead by his friend OBL? If so then why not blame Omar's demise on the bombs and the Americans? Good excuse since they're all murderers and cowards.
