According to Ahmadi, the Talibs were looking to organize a large gathering where around 300,000 people were expected to participate to mourn Mullah Omar's death. This comes as a local security official said earlier today that the Talibs are forcing local residents to to have funeral for Mullah Omar and prepare food for the mourners.

Reports regarding the death of Mullah Omar emerged last week suggesting Pakistain have confirmed the death of Mullah Mohammad Omar to the Afghan government. Mullah Omar's death was first confirmed by a splinter group of the Taliban -- Afghanistan Islamic Movement Fidai Mahaz, which claimed that he was assassinated Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansoor and Gull Agha. The group's front man Qari Hamza said Mullah Omar was killed two years ago in the same month of July. Hamza claimed that the group has evidences to prove their claims that Mullah Omar was killed by Mullah Akhtar Muhammad Mansoor and Gull Agha. |
