In a rare disclosure, the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) on Friday refuted claims made by US daily theWashington Post that deceased Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar had received treatment at its Karachi facility in early 2011.

Maintaining that its patients have a right to confidentiality and privacy and that it does not violate that right, the AKUH in a brief statement said on Friday that it would make an exception in the case of Mullah Omar.

“In this exceptional case we can state that we have no record of Mullah Omar being treated here. We will not comment any further on this.”

The Washington Post had on July 30 published a piece claiming that then-CIA Director Leon Panetta had confronted then-President Asif Ali Zardari about a “disturbing piece of intelligence” – that Mullah Omar was being treated at a hospital in Karachi.

Panetta identified AKUH as the hospital and added that the CIA had “some raw intelligence on this” that would soon be shared with Pakistani agencies.

News broke on July 29 when a former Afghan Taliban minister and member of the central leadership council revealed to The Express Tribune that Mullah Omar had died of Tuberculosis two years and four months ago and that he been buried on the Afghan side of the border.

Hours later the Afghan intelligence, the National Directorate of Security, and subsequently the Afghan government confirmed that he had died.

A day later, on July 30, the Taliban and Mullah Omar’s family, too confirmed that the Taliban supremo had died.

AKUH is Ismaili owned. Why would they treat a "jaahil" uneducated terrorist who'd kill shias and Ismailis. Clueless western media.

No one dies before the prior knowledge of third "A".

Osama
Saddam
Yasir Arafat
Gen Zia

Surely a new episode is to begin in Afg. Old has to die.


Afganistan is Af-gun-istan, it will remain so till its Afganistan.
 
.
ISIS will take over Afghanistan now. Many of Taliban commanders have left the rank and has joined Daesh. 6 provinces of Afghanistan has already fallen to Daesh,
 
.
What happened to the hypocrical oath to treat anyone regardless of creed , caste , religion , . You are supposed to treat even the worst of the worst . So you are saying only to serve when it suits you. Hmmmm

This is NOT Good News.

This is the time for Afghan Taliban to UNITE and speak with one voice.

Great Tragedy if sanctioned by Mullah Akhtar Mansoor.

May have been a RAW sponsored ACT to sabotage Pakistan supported Peace Plan.

Evil RAW..... :P

Afghanistan's first deputy speaker of the Wolesi Jirga (Lower House of Parliament) Zahir Qadir on Monday said that Mullah Omar's son, Mullah Yaqub, was killed last week in Quetta, Pakistan.

According to him, Mullah Yaqub, who had hoped to succeed his father as leader of the Taliban, was killed while at a meeting in the city four days ago (Thursday).

"We were told about Mullah Omar's death two years back and now his son Mullah Yaqub who was 21 or 22 years old was trying to be appointed as his father's successor. But Mullah Mansour also tried to become leader of the Taliban, therefore it is said that he was killed some days back," Qadir told TOLOnews.

"The opposing Taliban and Pakistan had a hand in killing Mullah Yaqub. The reality will be made clear soon," he said.

In addition to this, Afghan security sources told TOLOnews late Monday that in the past 24 hours three clashes between Taliban factions have been reported in Quetta city in Pakistan.

One attack was on a convoy transporting newly appointed Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour's deputy, the source said.

A source said that Maulvi Haibatullah Noorzai, Mullah Mansour's deputy, narrowly escaped an assassination attempt on his convoy by unidentified gunmen in Pakistan's Baluchistan province.

The source wishing anonymity said that former Nangarhar governor and Taliban head of the central committee, Maulvi Abdul Kabir, was also in the convoy.

Unidentified persons mounted the attack on the convoy on the outskirts of Chaman area in Pakistan, the source said, adding Haibatullah and Maulvi Abdul Kabir escaped unhurt but three other Taliban leaders were wounded in the attack.

The top Taliban leaders were in the locality to garner support for Mullah Mansour from local clerics when they came under attack.

Chaman is the hometown of Mullah Abdul Razzaq who has opposed Mullah Mansour's nomination as Taliban leader. Mullah Mansour has been appointed as Mullah Omar's successor.

Two other attacks also occurred between Taliban factions in the past two days. Both were carried out on houses in Quetta city but it is unclear who the residents are or whether any casualties were reported.

The news of Mullah Yaqub's death however comes just days after he and his uncle Abdul Manan, Mullah Omar's younger brother, were reportedly among more than a dozen Taliban figures who walked out of Wednesday's leadership meeting held in Quetta.

It was at this meeting that the Taliban named Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour as the group's new leader.

Reuters reported that the display of dissent within the group's secretive core is the clearest sign yet of the challenge Mansour faces in uniting a group already split over whether to pursue peace talks with the Afghan government and facing a new, external threat, Islamic State.

Rifts in the Taliban leadership could widen after confirmation of the death of Mullah Omar.
