| Mullah Omar: Americans lack courage to attack Afghanistan |
| 2001-09-30 |
| The Globe and Mail The leader of Afghanistan's hardline Taliban told his people Sunday not to worry about U.S. attacks on their country because Americans are cowards. "Americans don't have the courage to come here," Mullah Mohammed Omar said in an interview broadcast by Taliban-controlled Kabul Radio. He urged Afghans to remain calm and go about their business without trying to flee cities that might be targets of U.S. air strikes. Omar instead blamed the Sept. 11 attacks on American policies — without stating which ones. "Whatever the Americans are facing is the result of their policies," he said, "and the U.S. authorities should review their policies and should not unnecessarily create problems for Muslims." |
