ISLAMABAD, Jan. 14 (Xinhuanet) -- Taliban on Saturday rejected a report by a Pakistani private television that Taliban leader Mulla Muhammad Omar was likely to be in the Pakistani tribal area, bombed by a U.S. plane early Friday, which killed 18 people.

    "Mulla Omar and all other leaders are in Afghanistan and the report about his presence in Pakistan has no base," Taliban spokesman Dr Muhammad Hanif told the NNI news agency here on a satellite phone from Afghanistan. Enditem
