Taliban Leader Denies Setting Fire to Schools

[Tolo News] Mullah Omar, the Taliban leading leader, denied setting fire on schools and attacks on common locations by the Taliban.
"Wudn't me."
In his latest comments the Taliban leader said Afghan government and Nato should provide evidence on their allegations.
"Yeah. Da witnesses are all dead!"
Experts say Mullah Omar's comment is an indication of fragment within the Taliban groups. "Within the Taliban some Death Eater groups have shaped under the influence of al-Qaeda which means a part of the Taliban have begun to turn more Death Eater compared to traditional Taliban," Wahid Muzhda, an Afghan political analyst, said.

But Afghan citizens frustrated by the Taliban attacks say the Taliban have begun to target civilian locations recently. "Each suicide kaboom has led to the death of innocent Afghan civilians and nobody cares about it," said Ahmad Jawad Fazel, 24, who lives in Kabul.

We at Rantburg care, but news of that isn't likely to have reached the Afghan interior.

As part of the government outreach to the Taliban, Karzai formed high peace council to convince the Taliban to prepare for peace talks.

Mullah Omar dismisses the Taliban attacks on common locations as the Taliban claim responsibility to the suicide attacks right after they happen.

In the latest suicide attack in Barmal district of Paktia province, which targeted a road construction company, 20 road construction personnel were killed and fifty others were hurt.

#1 There are times when I would rather have Mullah Omars head on my desk as an ashtray than Binny.

This is certainly the most loathsome, slithering little verminous monster on early...
