| From Taliban-News.com: Quetta: Mullah Muhammad Umar Hafidthullah Ta'alaa, Amir ul Haraakat ul Talibaan has issued new directives to the Taliban activists fighting against the occupying US forces in Afghanistan. He used to be Amir al-Moumeen. Terrible, coming down in the world like that. Seems the Talibs are now just another obscure jihadi group again... According to the reports reaching here he has prioritised the US targets and has asked his followers to attack the targets that are in their priority list. He has also directed them to stop operations in some provinces, concentrate their strength in the target areas and fight valiantly to force the ouster of US troops from Afghanistan. And get those turbans on straight... Mullah Umar has also urged upon his Pakistani supporters to refrain from crossing over the border to Afghanistan to support Taliban. âAt this time we do need any manpower,â Mullah Umar reportedly said while adding that âsecurity of Pakistani volunteers become an issue and creates more complications.â The targets on the [list] prioritized by the Taliban could not be ascertained. "Just stay out of our way, Paks. We'll be back in charge in a month..." |
