Although no one has the definitive proof....yet.

Three Reports

UPDATED AND BUMPED:

Oliver North confirms Mullah Omar capture

Still not sure if I believe it, though.

Full story here.

"“Why would the ISI (Pakistan's intelligence service) take down ‘one of their own?’” I asked. The answer came in a mixed metaphor but the meaning was clear: “The ISI intends to be in the driver’s seat when the ‘Peace Talks’ get underway in Afghanistan later this month. And the ISI officers calling the shots know Mullah Omar is the best bargaining chip they have.”

None of this bodes well for the “Consultative Peace Jirga,” on which Mr. Obama has now placed his imprimatur. Some of those watching preparations for the “peace talks” predict a call for an immediate, Vietnam-style, “cease fire” as a pre-condition for the conference – and a demand to grant Mullah Omar – Osama bin-Laden’s closest ally – safe haven in Saudi Arabia. If the O-Team agrees to any of this, it will be akin to putting perfume on a skunk."

Well that explains a lot, including why there is so little verified info about his supposed capture.

====================================
Mullah Omar Captured!

Capture of Mullah Omar Confirmed

Mullah Omar Captured

I don't believe it, either. Still, if this is true, it would be nice to know why Pakistan is holding him.  Is he singing? Are there more round-ups in the offing? Is Pakistan's government worried about the potential payback?

This would be a major sting, if so and The One could claim that bin Laden was finally caught while on his watch.  Big boost for him, which he sorely needs.

But they have captured another big one with links to bin Laden.
