Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar has been killed in Pakistan, a private television channel reported Monday.
"Mullah Omar was killed on way from Quetta to North Waziristan, " TOLO television said in its news bulletin, Xinhua reported.
However, it did not provide details on how he was killed and by whom.
Meanwhile, a security official confirmed the killing, saying, " it is correct that Mullah Omar has been killed."
The official emphasized that Mullah Omar was killed inside Pakistan.
Taliban militants fighting Afghan and NATO-led troops in Afghanistan have yet to make comment.
Mullah Omar has survived massive U.S. military manhunt since the collapse of Taliban regime by U.S-led invasion in late 2001 for sheltering al-Qaida chief Osama Bin Laden.
U.S. commandos killed Bin Laden in a raid on his hideout in Pakistan on May 2.
