KABUL: Taliban founder Mullah Omar lived in a small room and spent last 7 years and five months of his life, the photos of the mud house have surfaced on the social media.

Mullah Sahib lead IEA from this tiny room and stayed there until his passing away. Mullah Sahib used to sunbathe in the small garden with roses.”
