Taliban leader Mullah Omar speaks out!!!

The elusive founder of the Taliban movement is calling for more terrorist attacks in Afghanistan!

SPIN BOLDAK, Afghanistan - The fugitive Taleban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar has urged his followers to step up suicide attacks on foreign and Afghan troops and remain united, according to a Taleban commander.
Violence has surged in Afghanistan in recent weeks after a winter lull, following last year’s bloodiest period since the Taleban’s ouster in 2001.
Taleban commander Mullah Hayatullah Khan told Reuters late on Friday by satelite phone from an undisclosed location that Omar had contacted senior and regional commanders and congratulated them for carrying out “successful” attacks in recent weeks.
He would not give details as to how and when Mullah Omar contacted the commanders.......

My guess on how he made contact: Most likely he wrote a letter and the letter was copied and distributed to all the senior and regional commanders. It's high unlikely that any of the commanders have Mullah Omar's phone number, especially after what happened in July 2004. For those of you not familiar with that incident, Mullah Omar's brother-in-law was captured in an operation by US and Afghan forces in eastern Afghanistan. Well, the Taliban chief's number was present on the man's cell phone and coalition forces called Omar and he picked up!! Unfortunately, he quickly caught on and hung up his phone. Later on, the phone call was traced to a house in Quetta, Pakistan. (no shock there!) For quite some time after that telephone contact, we were hot on his trail!
