Mullah Omar It seems that the UK isn’t the merely country at the centre of a phone hack scandal.
A orator for the Taliban have claim that phones, email accounts and a website belong to the collection were hacked, and text mail dispersed claim that their isolated Afghan leader Mullah Mohammed Omar had die from heart illness.
The unique SMS text messages were conventional from phone numbers belonging to Taliban spokesmen Zabihullah Mujahid and Qari Yousuf, and read:
“Spiritual Leader Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid has died. May Allah bless his soul?”
Zabihullah Mujahid angrily deprived of the rumours that Mullah Omar, one of the world’s most required men, was dead, in a meeting with Reuters.
“This is the work of American intelligence, and we will take revenge on the telephone network providers.”
Whether the mobile phones of Taliban spokesperson were in fact hacked, or whether their phone numbers were spoofed when distribution the messages, is unclear at this point in time. But it seems likely that the Taliban will be look into how it can better secure its infrastructure in future.
According to Zabihullah Mujahid, the United States has infertile access to the Taliban websites. If the US forces were accountable for the rumours of Mullah Omar’s death, in the hope of destabilize and puzzling the Taliban, it surely wouldn’t be a surprise.
After all, disinformation and mental fighting have been going on for hundreds of years. Mullah Mohammed Omar has been in trouncing since October 2001, with the USA offering a $10 million bounty for information most important to his capture.
