ISLAMABAD: Taliban leader Mullah Omar has not been arrested in Pakistan, a Taliban spokesperson has said. Zabiullah Mujahid told a TV channel that the news of Mullah Omar's arrest was a US and NATO propaganda and claimed that the US was employing such tactics to save face. He insisted that Mullah Omar was still in Afghanistan, The Nation reported on Tuesday.
US blogger Brad Thor, who has worked in US Homeland Security and maintains close relations with US army, made the startling claim on May 13 on the website 'biggovernment.com' that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence nabbed him in Karachi on March 27.
The US has offered $10 million on information leading to Mullah Omar who had suffered a shrapnel wound on his right eye. Mullah Omar's Taliban regime in Afghanistan sheltered Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida network in the years prior to the September 11 terror attack. The news of Mullah Omar's arrest first appeared on a US blog.
