President General Pervez Musharraf said he was “500 percent sure” Taliban leader Mulla Omar was in Afghanistan. | “Mulla Omar visited Pakistan when he was a madrassa student. All Taliban leaders are now in Afghanistan and leading the insurgency.” |
The president said that no Taliban leaders were in Pakistan although a top commander, Mulla Dadullah, had been there and authorities had tried three times to catch him. He added that the attempts to target Dadullah were carried out with “total intelligence cooperation” with foreign forces in Afghanistan. “Mulla Omar visited Pakistan when he was a madrassa student. All Taliban leaders are now in Afghanistan and leading the insurgency,” said Musharraf, adding that the Taliban leaders would be arrested if they entered Pakistan. |
