| Taliban's Mullah Omar died of Hep C in Afghanistan, son says | |

| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] 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... , founder of the Afghan Taliban, died of natural causes in Afghanistan, his son said in a statement calling for unity and quashing rumours about his father's mysterious death amid a leadership dispute. The dispute within the Taliban threatens a fledgling grinding of the peace processor with the Afghan government and may open the way for ISIS to expand its toehold of influence. The Taliban in July officially confirmed Mullah Omar had been dead for more than two years, after the Afghan spy agency leaked the news. The next day, a hastily convened meeting appointed Omar's deputy, Mullah Mansour, as leader. Many commanders and Omar's family were unhappy with the appointment. Some question why Mansour concealed news of Omar's death for two years. He said it was necessary to preserve unity amid the 2014 NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A single organization with differing goals, equipment, language, doctrine, and organization.... withdrawal. Rumors have multiplied amid the splits. "I wanted to assure you that he died a natural death," Omar's eldest son, Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob, said in an audio tape released on Sunday night and authenticated by Taliban sources. "He had been sick for some time but his condition deteriorated," he said. "We made enquiries from the doctors, it seems he was suffering from HCV (Hepatitis C). "He stayed in Afghanistan even after the U.S.-led invasion of Afghanistan. He died there and was laid to rest there." The tape, Yaqoob's first public audio statement, rejected the idea that his father had appointed a successor, in an apparent jab at Mansour. "He had not appointed any one as his successor," he said.
The appointment of Mullah Mansour has caused some consternation among the Taliban ranks, particularly among those who feel he is too close to Pakistain's military establishment, the movement's long-time backer. | |

| #3 How is hepatitis C spread, and is it contagious? "The most common route of transmission is needles shared among users of illicit drugs." "A small number of cases are transmitted through sexual intercourse. The risk of transmission of hepatitis C from an infected individual to a non-infected spouse or sexual partner without the use of condoms over a lifetime has been estimated to be between 1% and 4%." "Poor infection control practices during tattooing and body piercing potentially can lead to spread of infection. (This has not been reported in licensed, commercial tattooing facilities where it has been studied.)" Perhaps he was done in by that tattoo of "Mom" inside a red heart on this left butt cheek.... |
