Taliban Interior Minister talks about hanging it up
2002-02-18
  • Taliban Interior Minister Abdul Razzak is one of more than 15 senior leaders of the hard-line militia negotiating a possible surrender with the new Afghan government. "He is one of those people who are in touch with us, who want to surrender," Mohammad Yusuf Pashtoon, spokesman for the governor Kandahar province, Gul Agha, said.

    In an interview with Reuters in Spin Boldak, Razzak said he was not one of the Taliban officials considering surrender. Razzak said he would never abandon his comrades, nor would he surrender. "I will stand by the Taliban until the end," he said. Razzak also derided the interim government for failing to stem rising lawlessness and said the people would soon demand the return of his movement because of the poor security situation.
    Yup. They're gonna start asking for their Talibs back any time now...
