Mullah Omar Ratted Out, Jihadis Divided

I posted yesterday that the capture of the Taliban spokesperson would begin to lead to the capture of Mullah Omar. Apparently the spokesman’s gift for gab has not abbated as he rats out Mullah Omar.

A detained Taliban spokesman has told his interrogators that the militia’s fugitive chief, Mullah Mohammed Omar (search), is hiding in Afghanistan and is in contact with top commanders, an intelligence official said Wednesday.

Want a surprise PR victory for Bush to quell the right wing whiners? This would be one of those events. Sing like a bird my friend!

Additionally, the much expected fracture in the Muslim world over the rampant murder of Mulsims to show the West who is in charge is finally beginning to appear:

From Baghdad to Bali, suicide attacks on civilians are dividing ideologues of global jihad, some of whom worry that the carnage is alienating even Muslims once sympathetic to the militant cause.

Militants such as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, with his declaration of all-out war on Shi’ite Muslims and willingness to slaughter Iraqi civilians in Allah’s name, have dismayed even their own original religious mentors.

Most jihadists support suicide attacks on U.S.-led forces “occupying” Iraq, but for some, those targeting their Iraqi collaborators fall into a grey area. Others have deep qualms about attacks on civilians in Iraq and elsewhere.

“Martyrdom operations related to civilians, whatever their nationality, can cause big divisions,” said Egyptian lawyer Muntasser Zayat, who has represented Islamist defendants. “They do not have majority approval in Islamic and jihadi groups.”

It seems pretty clear Al Qaeda plans to keep killing Muslims until the US surrenders……

Whatever.
