Mohammed Omar

Mullah Mohammed Omar (Pashto: ملا محمد عمر مجاهد, Mullā Muḥammad ‘Umar; c. 1950–1962 – 23 April 2013), or simply Mullah Omar, was founder of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in 1996 and head of state until late 2001, under the official title "Head of the Supreme Council". The Taliban recognized him as Commander of the Faithful until his death in April 2013. He was officially succeeded by Mullah Akhtar Mansour in 2015.

Omar was wanted by the United States Department of State's Rewards for Justice program after October 2001 for sheltering Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda militants in the years prior to the September 11 attacks. He was believed to be directing the Taliban insurgency against the United States armed forces-led International Security Assistance Force and the government of Afghanistan.

Despite his political rank and his high status on the Rewards for Justice most wanted list, not much was publicly known about him. Only two known photos exist of him, neither of them official, and a picture used in 2002 by many media outlets has since been established to be someone other than him. The authenticity of the existing images is debated. Apart from the fact that he had one eye, accounts of his physical appearance state that Omar was very tall, at around 2 m (6 ft 6 in). Mullah Omar was described as shy and non-talkative with foreigners.
