Mullah Mohammed Omar Mujahid ((パシュトー語:ملا محمد عمر مجاهد), ''Mullā Muḥammad ‘Umar Mujāhid''; 1950–1962 – 23 April 2013), often simply called Mullah Omar, was the supreme commander and the spiritual leader of the Taliban. He was Afghanistan's 11th head of state from 1996 to late 2001, under the official title "Head of the Supreme Council". He died in 2013 of tuberculosis, although this was not confirmed until 2015. Mullah 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wanted Information leading to the location of Mullah Omar Up to $10 Million Reward )〕 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.〔Pajhwok Afghan News (PAN), (No word from Islamabad on Omar's arrest ), 6 July 2010.〕 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 .〔 Mullah Omar was described as shy and non-talkative with foreigners.〔''Afghanistan: Taliban Preps for Bloody Assault'', Newsweek. 5 March 2007〕 During his tenure as Emir of Afghanistan, Omar seldom left the city of Kandahar and rarely met with outsiders,〔 instead relying on Foreign Minister Wakil Ahmed Muttawakil for the majority of diplomatic necessities. It was reported on 29 July 2015, that he had died in 2013.〔 These reports were confirmed by the National Directorate of Security and the Taliban the following day. ==Personal life== According to most sources, Omar was born sometime between 1950 and 1962〔 in a village in Kandahar Province, Kingdom of Afghanistan (in present-day Kandahar Province or Uruzgan Province). Some suggest his birth year as 1950 or 1953,〔 or as late as around 1966.〔 According to "a surprise biography" published by the Taliban in April 2015, he was born in 1960.〔The Daily Telegraph, Friday 31st July 2015〕 His exact place of birth is also uncertain; one possibility is a village called Nodeh near the city of Kandahar.〔 Matinuddin writes that he was born in 1961 in Nodeh village, Panjwai District, Kandahar Province. Others say Omar was born in a village of the same name in Uruzgan Province.〔 In Omar's entry in the UNSC's Taliban Sanctions List, "Nodeh village, Deh Rahwod District, Uruzgan Province" is given as a possible birthplace.〔United Nations Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1988 (2011). ("The List of individuals and entities established pursuant to Security Council Resolution 1988 (2011)" )〕 Other reports say Omar was born in 1960 in Noori village near Kandahar. 'Noori village, Maiwand District, Kandahar Province' is a second location suggested in Omar's entry in the Sanctions List.〔 According to a biography of Mullah Omar published online by the Taliban in April 2015, he was born in 1960 in the village of Chah-i-Himmat, in Khakrez District, Kandahar Province. It has also been mentioned that Sangasar was his home village. Better established than Omar's place of birth is that his childhood home was in Deh Rahwod District, Uruzgan Province, having moved to a village there with his uncle after the death of his father (though some identify the district as Omar's birthplace).〔 An ethnic Pashtun, he was born in conservative rural Afghanistan to a poor landless family of the Hotak tribe, which is part of the larger Ghilzai branch.〔Rashid, ''Taliban'', (2001)〕 According to Hamid Karzai, "Omar's father was a local religious leader, but the family was poor and had absolutely no political links in Kandahar or Kabul. They were essentially lower middle class Afghans and were definitely not members of the elite." His father Mawlawi Ghulam Nabi〔 Akhund died when Omar was young.〔 According to Omar's own words he was 3 years old when his father died, and thereafter he was raised by his uncles.〔 (Audio link ) (in Pashto with Arabic voiceover).〕 One of his uncles married Omar's mother, and the family moved to a village in the poor Deh Rawod District, where the uncle was a religious teacher.〔 It is reported that they lived in the village of Dehwanawark, close to the town of Deh Rahwod. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mohammed Omar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
