July 6th, 2010 - 5:17 pm ICT by IANS
Islamabad, July 6 (IANS) Taliban leader Mullah Omar has not been arrested in Pakistan, a Taliban spokesperson has said.
Zabeeh Ullah 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 Tuesday.
The US has offered $10 million on information leading to Mullah 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 Sep 11 terror attack.
The news of Mullah Omar’s arrest first appeared on a US blog.
US blogger Brad Thor made the startling claim May 13 on the website ‘biggovernment.com’. He claimed that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Agency nabbed him in Karachi March 27.
