During Operation Enduring Freedom, “On the night of December 6-7 [2001], [Taliban leader] Mullah [Mohammad] Omar disappeared from Kandahar [Afghanistan] and was not heard from again for some time. U.S. intelligence later learned that he and his men managed to flee southward across the border into Pakistan, where he remains to this day.”
