AFP/AFP - Afghan soldiers keep watch near the remains of the house belonging to Mullah Omar close to the mosque in Sangesar where he founded the Taliban movement in 1994
Taliban leader Mullah Omar died two years ago, Afghanistan's intelligence agency spokesman Haseeb Sediqi said Wednesday.
The comments came after unnamed government and militant sources said earlier that he had died.
"Mullah Omar is dead. He died in a Karachi hospital in April 2013... under mysterious circumstances," Sediqi, the spokesman for the National Directorate of Security, told AFP.
