| 2001-10-07 |
Taliban envoy to Pakistan, Abdul Salam Zaeef read out the written statement to the journalists in Islamabad soon after the Americans fired missiles on Kandahar and Kabul: "We condemned the terrorist attack against the Afghan nation. Afghanistan is victim of American arrogance and expansionism. It wants to snatch from the Afghan Muslim people the present Islamic system. The brutal attacks are as horrendous terrorist acts as any where in the world. America will never achieve its political goals by launching a brutal attack on Muslim Afghanistan. The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has always chosen the path of talks to solve problems. But America has always chosen militaristic approach. However such brutal attitude by America will unify the whole Afghan nation against the aggression. The Afghan nation will rise against the new colonialists. We condemn the terrorist acts against Afghan nation." |
