KABUL, Afghanistan — The Afghan intelligence service said Wednesday that it believes that the Taliban’s reclusive founder and spiritual leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar, died in a Pakistani hospital in 2013, a dozen years after he fled Afghanistan.
The spokesman for the intelligence service, the National Directorate of Security, Abdul Hassib Seddiqi, said in an interview that he is believed to have died in a hospital outside the Pakistani city of Karachi.
It is unclear, however, when or how the agency received that information. Late last year, Rahmatullah Nabil, the acting Afghan intelligence chief, said he could not be sure “whether Omar is alive or dead. That’s difficult to say at this stage.”
