Mullah Omar Dead?

Maybe, but the real kicker is in the last line:

His death, if confirmed, raises questions about who will lead the movement that allied with al Qaeda, fought a war with the U.S. and is now divided over whether to pursue an elusive peace deal with Afghanistan’s new government.

A Taliban spokesman wasn’t immediately reachable for comment on Wednesday, and it remains unclear when and how Mullah Omar apparently died. Voice of America reported that a Taliban spokesman had denied his death.

According to Afghan officials and people close to the Taliban, he has been dead for at least two years.

Oh.
