KABUL (Reuters) - The Afghan Taliban rejected as "propaganda" on Monday unsourced media reports that its reclusive leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, had been killed in Pakistan, saying he is alive and in Afghanistan, and vowing to continue their insurgency.

Security officials in Pakistan and diplomats, U.S. military commanders and government officials in Afghanistan all cast doubt on reports that Omar, one of the most-wanted men in the world, had been killed while travelling between Quetta and North Waziristan in Pakistan.

"He is in Afghanistan safe and sound," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location. "We strongly reject these baseless allegations that Mullah Mohammad Omar has been killed."

Now that it is confirmed that Mullah Omar is very much in Afghanistan, he needs to be tracked down and contained, the Osama bin Laden was done away with. But one shouldn't forget the "Secret Journey of Osama Bin Laden, From Tora Bora to Abbottabad!"*. (*http://prmadhura3.blogspot.com/2011/05/secret-journey-of-osama-bin-laden-from.html)
