The Afghan Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, was allegedly the victim of a heart attack for which he was treated in Karachi with the assistance from the Pakistani secret service, says the Washington Post. The spiritual leader of the Taliban, who fled during the overthrow of the regime, the fall of 2001, would have had a heart attack on January 7.He was hospitalized for several days in the port city of Karachi, the time to ask how a stent (a vascular prosthesis), understands the Washington Post, citing a report by a private intelligence agency, the group Eclipse. "After three or four days of postoperative treatment in hospital, he was handed over to the ISI (Inter-Services Intelligence, the Pakistani military intelligence service)," the group Eclipse, whose source is a doctor of hospital.
He is now resting in a "guest house" of the ISI in Karachi, where he would recover from the operation, according to another source Eclipse. Although Pakistan is officially an ally of the international coalition in Afghanistan, the ISI is frequently accused of playing a double game and is suspected of covertly supporting the Taliban.
Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States, Husain Haqqani, has denied the Washington Post that information, said it was "completely unfounded". The Eclipse Group is headed by former U.S. military, CIA officials and State Department, says the Washington Post that the group would have the support of the Pentagon.
