April 08, 2015
The Afghan Taliban have published a surprise biography of the reclusive Mullah Mohammed Omar, to mark his 19th year as their supreme leader.
The 5,000-word biography on their main website clarifies disputed facts about his birth and upbringing.
It lists his favourite weapon --the RPG 7 -- and says he leads a simple life and has a 'special' sense of humour.
