| Mullah Omar sez no terrorists in Afghanistan |
| 2001-10-10 |
Taliban leader Mulla Mohammad Omar Wednesday asked Muslims across the world to choose friends among the oppressed Afghans and America. "The world Muslims must decide whether to support us or the United States in the on-going war", Mulla Omar told the BBC Pashto service. It was Mulla Omar's first message to the world Muslims over international radio channel since the American air strikes in the war-devastated Afghanistan. Earlier, the Taliban leader addressed to Afghans through Radio Shariat. "The United States considers herself as powerful but Allah Almighty is more powerful than Washington and we only trust Allah Almighty to help the poor and oppressed Afghans", the Taliban leader said. He rejected the American allegations that Taliban are patronizing terrorists and sponsoring international terrorism. "We are not terrorist and are not harboring terrorists. This is the notion of the United States to call us terrorists", Mulla Omar said. |
