BBC: Afghan Taliban publish Mullah Omar biography

The Afghan Taliban have published a surprise biography of the reclusive Mullah Mohammed Omar, to mark his 19th year as their supreme leader.

The 5,000-word biography on their main website clarifies disputed facts about his birth and upbringing.

It lists his favourite weapon - the RPG 7 - and says he leads a simple life and has a "special" sense of humour.

It says Mullah Omar, whose whereabouts are unknown, "remains in touch" with day-to-day Afghan and world events.

The US state department has a $10m bounty on Mullah Omar, who has not been seen since the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.
