Mullah Omar's son killed?

QUETTA, OCT. 11. Two relatives of the Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, killed in a U.S. raid on his house were his 10- year-old son and his stepfather, residents fleeing Kandahar said today.

They said the Taliban leader had just left his home when a bomb struck one of his houses in the Sangisar district, where many of his family members were staying.

The Taliban's Ambassador to Pakistan, Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, however, refused to confirm or deny the deaths. ``All Afghans are his relatives,'' was his cryptic reply.
