(Wikipedia) "Mullah Mohammed Omar headed the Taliban forces during the Afghan civil war. Mullah Omar declared himself Amir-ul-Momineen (Commander of the Faithful). He has rarely been photographed and rarely speaks to journalists directly. Many[who?] see Mullah Omar as a nominal figure trained and controlled by Pakistan's intelligence agency, the ISI[citation needed]."

(Reliable Source) "Mullah Muhammad Omar is the leader of the Taliban movement in Afghanistan. He goes under the name of Amir-ul-Momineen, which means Commander of the Faithful.   He is considered to be one of the most mysterious figures in Afghan politics today, mostly due to that fact the he has rarely been photographed and hardly speaks to journalists directly.  There are even some who doubt his existence.  Still there are others who believe Mullah Omar is most likely a nominal figure trained  and controlled by Pakistan's intelligence agency, the ISI.

"CIA activities in North Korea began primarily at the beginning of the Cold War in 1949. At the time, the U.S. viewed North Korea or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) as a Soviet puppet regime (country controlled by Soviet powers). This posed a threat to the U.S. government, and the CIA began to focus more of its resources towards the DPRK. The CIA gathered crucial intelligence regarding the DPRK during the Cold War such as the DPRK's plans and capacities regarding an attack on America and its allies, for example, South Korea. In Modern times, the CIA along with the other sixteen U.S. intelligence agencies have primarily focused strictly on the DPRK'S weapons and capabilities (potentially successful long-range ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons)."
