This Dutch journalist spent 5 years to gather evidence that could not be opposed. She also interviewed Jabbar Omari, who was Mullah Omar’s security guard who lived with him after the end of the Taliban government.
The book revealed that Mullah Omar listened to BBC Pashto service every evening, chose to remain quiet and decided against sending out any message even after hearing the news of Usama bin Laden’s death.
Dam further writes that US government after 9/11 laid head money worth $10 million for Mullah Omar, despite him hiding out in a compound in Afghanistan’s Qalat province. The family hosting the Taliban leader was also kept in dark about who the mysterious guest was.
On the other hand, the statement issued by Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has negated all such claims that Mullah Omar resided in Afghanistan, indicating that he lived and died in Pakistan.
‘We have enough evidence that suggest Mullah Omar lived and died in Pakistan’.
