Osama bin Laden Missing: Taliban Leader
A spokesman for Taliban's supreme leader Mulla Omar on Sunday said in Kandahar that Osama bin Laden, "guest of Taliban" and the most wanted man by the United States is missing, according to a report by the Pakistan- based Afghan Islamic Press (AIP).
"He is missing and we are looking for him", said Abdul Hamid, the spokesman, adding "We will tell him the decision made by the Ulema Shura (Clerics' Council) when meet him".
"Now we are trying to trace him and tell him what the clerics had decided. He can decide himself whether to leave Afghanistan or not", said the spokesman.
Islamic clerics after a two-day meeting in Kabul on September 20 appeal to the Taliban authorities to request Saudi-born Osama bin Laden to leave Afghanistan voluntarily whenever possible.
Afghan authorities refused to hand over Osama, the "prime suspect" wanted by the United States "dead or alive".
