Mullah Omar still calls the shots


=====================================================
Afghanistan's Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar still has a "very powerful" effect on his followers, who are ready to fight on his orders. Omar recently exhorted his men in an audio tape to keep fighting, a Taliban commander said.

"His words have a very powerful effect on us," the Taliban commander was quoted as saying by the New York Times. "We obey his orders, every Talib does, and we believe in him," the Taliban commander said about the one-eyed Omar, who is believed to be 52. Omar is the spiritual leader of the Taliban movement that operates in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
