'Taliban leader Mullah Omar not in Pakistan'

June 29, 2011 16:16

Pakistan today said it was not aware of where Taliban's spiritual leader Mullah Mohammad Omar is currently hiding, Defence Minister Ahmad Mukhtar said.

On Tuesday, senior US military commanders had told the Congress that Pakistanis knew that Mullah Omar is in Pakistan and were ignoring US requests to find him.

Speaking to media persons at his residence, Mukhtar said that even if Mullah Omar was earlier in Pakistan, he must have escaped immediately after the May 2 US raid on Osama bin Ladens hideout in Abbottabad.
