| 2004-05-20 |
| The Afghan Interior Ministry said that two of the five men recently arrested in southern Afghanistan’s Kandahar Province are bodyguards of Mullah Mohammad Omar, the former leader of the Taliban regime, Afghanistan Television reported on 18 May. Interior Ministry sources said that Afghan police arrested the men in Kandahar’s Panjwai District as they allegedly attempted to transport a large number of assault rifles inside an oil tanker. The two suspected bodyguards, who are reportedly brothers, have been identified as Mullah Mohammad Hasan and Mullah Abdul Hakim. It is not clear when the arrests took place. Mullah Omar disappeared from the Taliban stronghold of Kandahar sometime in early December 2001 |

| #6 These Mullahs are on a par with Irish Catholic Priests for gun-running. Which begs the question: how many of the Muslim version of "Boston Irish" are contributing to the cause? |
