Taliban Defence Minister Mullah Abdul Razaq said Osama bin Laden escaped from the country about a fortnight ago. He said the information came to him from ex-potentate Mullah Mohammad Omar who is still hiding in southern Afghanistan. Razaq, who claimed to have spoken to Omar, said Omar himself was safe despite the loss of Kandahar. Razaq claimed the Taliban would re-occupy Afghanistan within one month. "We will soon carry out our operations and the whole world will see it, " he said.
"Save yer Taliban money, friend, 'cuz the Pashtuns're gonna rise again!" Actually, we suspect this is something Mullah Omar may have had revealed to him in a dream. |
