| Talibs ready for jihad |
| 2001-10-07 |
The Taleban's consul general in Karachi, Pakistan, said the Taleban were now "ready for jihad" - holy war now that the attacks had started. Elsewhere in Pakistan, where a large swathe of public opinion favours the Taleban, several Muslim leaders denounced the strikes and urged support for Afghanistan. "We appeal to all Muslims living anywhere in the world to extend full support to their Afghan brothers at this critical time," said the Markazi Jamiat Ahl-e-Hadith Pakistan group. |
