Medical treatment of Mulla Omar: ISPR strongly contradicts news item

An ISPR spokesman strongly contradicted the news item appeared in the local and international media about the medical treatment of Afghan Taliban leader Mulla Omar at Karachi.
It has been reported in international media that Mullah Omar, the elusive, one-eyed leader of the Afghan Taliban, had a heart attack on January 7 and was treated for several days in a Karachi hospital with the help of Pakistan's spy agency, according to a private intelligence network run by former CIA, State Department and military officers.
The intelligence network, operating under the auspices of a private company, "The Eclipse Group," said its source was a physician in the Karachi hospital, which was not identified in the report, who said he saw Omar struggling to recover from an operation to put a stent in his heart. Spokesman on Thursday said that the news is unfounded and concocted to serve vested interests.
