Taliban commander says bin Laden 'alive and well'
A purported senior commander from Afghanistan’s ousted Taliban militia today claimed the radical group’s fugitive leader Mullah Mohammed Omar and al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden are alive and well.
In an interview broadcast by Pakistan’s Geo television, a man identified as Taliban military commander Mullah Akhtar Usmani, a former aviation minister and corp commander in southern Kandahar province, said he still receives instructions from Omar.
