Mullah Omar's Great Escape The

Mullah Omar's Great Escape

The Blogs of War reported yesterday that Mullah Omar had been captured (based on a Guardian article about the galvanizing power of US bombs.) As it happens rumors of his collaring were greatly exaggerated: the wascally one-eyed wahabbist escaped, riding to safety on a motorbike. Foiled again.

(I heard this on the BBC news last night, and read it in theSunday Times today. Here's the link to the Sunday Times main page-- if you can find this article by Matthew Campbell on this blasted, God-forsaken web site, you're a better man than I. Grrrr....)
