Looks as if Omar's carcass is going for a trade, probably bullish news if it occurs... ===================================================== ananova.com Chieftains consider handing over Taliban leader Tribesmen who are sheltering Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar are to make a decision over his future in the next 48 hours. An Afghan intelligence official has revealed negotiations have reached a crucial stage. Nusrat Ullah added the new Afghan regime has received positive response from chieftains who are sheltering Mohammed Omar and his associates in Baghran. He has been told that if he does not surrender by Saturday, the Baghran area north of Kandahar where he is believed to be hiding may face American-led air strikes. "A breakthrough in this regard is expected soon," said Nusrat Ullah. A team of prominent anti-Taliban leaders, headed by Helmand province governor Sher Mohammed, are negotiating final terms, Ullah said. The talks began on Monday. "Mullah Omar is the murderer of thousands of Afghan people, and after his arrest, he would be handed over to the Kabul administration for a trial under existing laws," Nusrat Ullah said. In Islamabad, Pakistan, former Taliban ambassador to Pakistan Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef has been detained by Pakistani security officials, his nephew confirms. Several intelligence officials raided Zaeef's home and led him away, said Hamid Ullah. "Since then, we have not heard any thing about him." Abdul Zaeef became an international figure through his daily press conferences during the US air strikes on Taliban positions.
