Pakistan does not know where Mullah Omar is: Mukhtar

ISLAMABAD: Defence Minister Ahmad Mukhtar on Wednesday said that the time has come for Pakistan’s terrorism policy to be revised, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to the media at his residence, Mukhtar said that Pakistan is not aware of where Mullah Omar is currently hiding.

On Tuesday, senior US military commanders had told Congress that Pakistanis knew that Mullah Omar is in Pakistan and were ignoring US requests to find him.

Mukhtar said that even if Mullah Omar was in Pakistan, he must have escaped immediately after the May 2 US raid in Abbottabad.

The defence minister also said that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons were of utmost important to the country and were completely safe.
