US Says Mullah Omar 'in Pakistan'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7236177.stm

Taleban leader Mullah Omar and al-Qaeda commanders, including Osama Bin Laden, are living in Pakistan, a senior US official has told reporters.
He said senior Taleban leaders were in hiding with Mullah Omar in Quetta, from where they co-ordinated the insurgency in Afghanistan.


He also reiterated Washington's belief that Bin Laden was taking refuge in Pakistan's western tribal areas.

Islamabad repeatedly denies that Mullah Omar or Bin Laden are in Pakistan.

The US official, speaking on condition of anonymity in Washington, told reporters:

"There is no question that the iconic leaders of al-Qaeda - (Ayman al-)Zawahiri, Bin Laden... are in the tribal areas of Pakistan.

"We believe that the Taleban's shura (consultation) council leaders led by Mullah Omar reside in Quetta in Pakistan," he said.
