| Mullah Zaeef: No Taliban peace plan |
| 2001-10-28 |
ISLAMABAD: The Taliban have not evolved any peace plan to end the US-led military strikes against Afghanistan, the militia's ambassador to Pakistan, Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, said. Zaeef also claimed that three-week-long American aerial bombings had resulted in human catastrophe with scores of injured persons dying without medicines and lack of food. "The situation in capital Kabul is very pitiable. There is acute shortage of medicines and food. Injured are dying as a result of shortage of medicines," he told reporters here on his return from Afghanistan Saturday night. He said, "Yesterday's bombing of the ICRC warehouses in Kabul is a clear example of the US intentions to target civilian areas". This was the second time that us jets had hit a well-marked Red Cross building, he added. Zaeef, who went to Afghanistan twice during the past two weeks, said he visited Kabul and Jalalabad to discuss the current situation with the Taliban leadership and denied he carried any peace plan to end the military strikes against Afghanistan. |
