Mullah Omar Wounded? Interesting if true...
2004-03-29
Mullah Mohammad Omar, the fugitive leader of the Taliban, was wounded in a U.S. bombing raid earlier this month that killed four of his bodyguards, Deutsche Presse- Agentur said, citing a newspaper report in Pakistan. Omar was injured in the legs and left side of his body and won't be able to move about for two months, DPA said, citing an interview in the Urdu language daily newspaper, Ausaf, with Jabbar Aziz, a doctor. The report said the raid took place in the southern Afghan province of Zabul. The newspaper, which is known for having contacts with the Taliban, didn't say where or when the interview with Aziz took place, DPA reported.

There must be some way of changing that "two months" to "forever."

#16  Has anybody told Omar that all our munitions used in the Middle East have been dipped in pig fat? Maybe we'll just keep that between ourselves. Oh, and also, let's keep the botulism toxin rumor quiet, too. We don't want to get the UN needlessly upset.

Drat. I was hoping that it was Omar's OTHER eye that got "injured".

Oh well, at least he should be easier to catch, no? After all, a person that isn't ambulatory can't be riding any motorcycles...

#13  I'm sorry, Anon. I was really looking forward to seeing you in that car swarm holding up Omar's liver or spleen. By the way, I'm still waiting for you to put Yassin's left nut up on eBay.

Shy? No, I don't feel shy telling people about the WoT. I feel shy when I realize there's a Paleo nearby though.

#4  I had hoped by now that the phrase, "punishing the one eyed Mullah" would be common on campuses. Maybe it still will.
