The Tolonews website runs a story on its front page reporting about the news of the death of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar in Kabulin this May 23, 2011, file photo.

The unusual message kicked off a debate within the administration about whether it was truly authored by the mysterious one-eyed preacher believed to be directing the Taliban from hiding in Pakistan -- and its meaning for U.S. efforts to forge a negotiated end to America's longest war.
