Chief of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban Mullah Mohammad Omar would visit Pakistan on April nine to attend the Deoband conference organised by Jamat-e-Islami. During his visit, Omar, who has not permitted anyone to photograph him as he considered it un-islamic, is expected to meet a number of Pakistani leaders including military ruler General Pervez Musharraf, local Urdu newspaper Ausaf' said in Islamabad on Tuesday.

This would be his first visit to a foreign country after the militia took control of over 90 per cent of Afghanistan.
Omar is no stranger to Pakistan as he studied in an Islamic seminary in Pakistan's port city of Karachi, where he has been indoctrinated with fundamentalist Islamic ideology, the daily reported. Bureau Report
