Mullah Omar has never been in Pakistan, says Musharraf

LONDON: Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's former president, has said that the Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar is not and has "never been in Pakistan". Musharraf also vehemently denied the existence of the Quetta Shura.

In an interview with BBC, former military ruler said, "You say it is true, I say it is all nonsense," Musharraf said to the presenter about the presence of the Quetta Shura.

He agreed that the relationship between Pakistan and the US has "fundamentally broken down", saying it is at the "lowest ebb".

Musharraf said that he was not answerable in the killings of Benazir Bhutto and Nawab Akbar Bugti.

He said that he would arrive Pakistan on March 23, 2012.
