| Talibs holler "terrorism" as bombing begins |
| 2001-10-07 |
Afghanistan's Taliban cried ``terrorism'' as the United States and Britain bombed its forces on Sunday, but won only scraps of sympathy from a world which has mostly isolated the Islamist hard-liners since September 11. ``This attack by America is a terrorist act,'' Taliban ambassador to Pakistan Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef said. ``Poor and common Afghans will die, for which America will be responsible. This is an attack on an independent country. We will fight to the last breath.'' State television in Iraq, itself a frequent target for U.S. and British warplanes, described the U.S.-British air strikes on Afghanistan as ``treacherous aggression.'' |
