| Taliban Mourns Mullah Omar's Death in Kabul |
| 2015-08-02 |
| [Tolo News] A number of former Taliban members, including leaders of Harakat-e-Inqilab Islami Afghanistan, members of the High Peace Council and Shura-e-Insijam-e-Ulema-e-Afghanistan, gathered to mourn the death of the Taliban's supreme commander, Mullah Omar ... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality... The reclusive Taliban leader was announced dead this past week by Taliban front man after years of speculation about his condition and whereabouts. However, a woman is only as old as she admits... the circumstances surrounding his death remain murky, as Afghan government officials maintain that Omar died two years ago, in 2013, at a hospital in Bloody Karachi |

| #2 There are allegations that MO had been poisoned to death, ostensib by his new successor Mansour. * FYI JAPAN TIMES > OPINION: THE WEST MAY COME TO MISS THE TALIBAN'S MULLHA OMAR. The onset of MO's death brings wid it the threat of a more violent, more pro-Jihad, non-isolationist/non-AFPAK-only-focused Taliban or other WORSE, NOT-NECESSARILY-ISIS-CONTROLLED RADICAL MILITANT GROUP. * TOPIX >[Long War Journal] TURKESTAN ISLAMIC PARTY[TIP = ETIP/ETIM] THANKS AL-SHABAAB FOR [attacking +]DAMAGING CHINESE EMBASSY IN SOMALIA, URGES MORE ATTACKS AGZ CHINESE INTERESTS. Talibunnies, ISIS/ISIL in AFPAK, + an increasingly assertive or aggressive Tip/ETIP/ETIM. * Also from LONG WAR JOURNAL, TOPIX > OMAR SUCCESSOR/THE TALIBAN'S NEW LEADER HAS AL-QAEDA LINKS. The Hell You Say! DITTO AS PER THE HAQQANIS. No surprise here as I've always said Mullah Omar is, or now was, one of the younger members of Osama Bin Laden's inner circle. ONCE AGAIN AGAIN, LITTLE VIRGINA, WE LEARN WHY THE FBI-CIA'S RESEARCH + BIOGRAPHIES INTO OSAMA, ETAL. IS NEITHER THE BEST NOR ACCURATE. |
