| Talibs: Binny's gone missing |
| 2001-09-23 |
Saudi-born Osama bin Laden, wanted by the United States as a prime suspect in last week's attacks in the United States, is missing, Abul Hai Mutmaen, spokesman for Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, told Reuters Sunday. Mullah Omar, spiritual leader of the purist Taliban movement that controls Afghanistan, had approved a decision last week by Afghanistan's most senior clerics to recommend that bin Laden be persuaded to leave the country, he said."We have still not been able to deliver the clerics' message to him because we could not find him," Mutmaen said by telephone from the southern Afghan city of Kandahar. Asked if the world's most wanted man was still in Afghanistan, he said: "I cannot say." |
