ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – After fleeing the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, Taliban chief Mullah Mohammed Omar took refuge in Karachi, disguising himself as a local potato trader, reported Miami Herald.
Quoting their sources in Pakistan intelligence and Taliban government, the US-based newspaper reported that Mullah Omar “worked among the vegetable purveyors in low-end marketplaces in crowded Karachi for three years”.
