KABUL: Afghan intelligence agents have spoken with fugitive Taliban founder Mulla Omar after commandeering a satellite phone being used by his top aide, an Afghan official claimed on Thursday. Mulla Omar, along with Osama Bin Laden, has escaped a US-led dragnet which now numbers some 20,000 coalition soldiers since the ousting of his fundamentalist regime in late 2001. A man believed to be Omar?s aide, Mulla Sakhi Dad Mujahid, was captured on Tuesday while carrying a satellite telephone containing the phone numbers of top Taliban, Kandahar intelligence chief Abdullah Laghmanai told AFP. ?We contacted Mulla Omar by Mulla Mujahid?s phone,? he said, adding that at first Mujahid was forced to talk. ?But when Omar realised what was happening ... he cut off the phone.? ?Salam-aleikum, where are you?? Mulla Omar asked Mujahid, according to Laghmanai. Mulla Mujahid, as he is known locally, was arrested on Tuesday during a raid in Dara-i-Noor near Kandahar. afp
Jeez, when will these terrorist learn not to program everyones' numbers into their satellite phones?
