PARIS, Sept 14: Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar is based in Pakistan and everyone knows this, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on Tuesday, calling on Islamabad to do more to help end the conflict.
“It’s not a secret for anyone, everyone knows that Mullah Omar is in Quetta, if he’s not now in Karachi,” Kouchner told French lawmakers. “Taliban leaders have been given shelter in Pakistan. I’m not revealing anything,” he said, telling parliament’s foreign relations committee why Afghanistan had called on Pakistan to help negotiate a peace deal.—AFP
