Afghan government officials said Wednesday that Taliban chief Mullah Omar is dead. They say he died more than two years ago in Pakistan.

A government statement said the findings were based on what it called credible information.

The Taliban earlier this month said Mullah Omar is alive. In Washington, the Obama administration said it could not confirm the report that the Taliban leader is dead.
