KABUL, Afghanistan -- The Afghan Taliban on Monday denied reports that their leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, one of the most wanted men in Afghanistan, had been killed, as Afghan authorities said that he'd disappeared from Quetta, Pakistan, where he's thought to have spent the last 10 years hiding out.

An Afghan government official said he couldn't confirm Omar's death but that Afghan intelligence thought that Omar had left his longtime Quetta base four or five days ago and hadn't been seen since.

"We cannot confirm the death or killing of Mullah Omar," said Lutfullah Mashal, a spokesman for the Afghan intelligence agency, "but we can confirm he has disappeared and we hope that he is dead."

In a phone interview with McClatchy Newspapers, Zabiullah Mujahid, the Taliban's spokesman, scoffed at the idea that Omar had been killed.
