The IEA digs up Mullah Omar's vehicle, which was buried to avoid US troops

Members of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (IEA) have uncovered the white Toyota that Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid used to escape American invasion twenty years ago.

A group of workers are seen excavating what looks to be a white Toyota station waggon that was covered in a sheet of plastic in pictures that were shared on Twitter on Tuesday.

"This Toyota waggon was utilised by the late Amir to drive from Kandahar to Zabul province during the beginning of US-led invasion," wrote IEA member Muhammad Jalal in a tweet attaching the photos.

Senior IEA officials have asked that the car be shown at Kabul's national museum,

A man who participated in the most extraordinary events in history travelled in this car," tweeted Anas Haqqani, another senior IEA member.

The car had been buried for about 20 years when Mullah Omar's son, Defense Minister Mullah Muhammad Yaqoub, instructed workers to uncover it.
