The Taliban on Sunday revealed the final resting place of the movement's founder, Mullah Omar, whose death and burial they kept secret for years.

This handout photograph taken on November 6, 2022 and released by the Taliban Government shows the members of the Taliban standing next to the tomb of late Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar, at Omarzo in Suri district of Zabul province. – The Taliban on November 6 revealed the final resting place of the movement’s founder, Mullah Omar, whose death and burial they kept secret for years.

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told AFP Sunday that senior leaders of the movement attended a ceremony at his gravesite earlier in the day near Omarzo, in Suri district of Zabul province. “Now the decision has been made… there are no issues for the people to visit the tomb,” Mujahid said. Massoud has a mixed legacy in the country, where he is hailed by ordinary Afghans for leading the resistance against the Soviet occupation, but loathed by the Taliban he also fought until his 2001 assassination by Al-Qaeda.

“It happened when the new forces entered Panjshir. The new forces from Helmand and Kandahar destroyed the tombstone of the national hero,” one resident told AFP.
