| Mullah Omar 'Will Free Afghanistan' In New Letter |
| 2002-09-13 |
| Arabic television station al-Jazeera says it has received a statement from ousted Taleban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar in which he has vowed to continue fighting until Afghanistan is "liberated". He's a definite authority. He's the guy who said we didn't have the courage to attack Afghanistan in the first place. Then he said Konduz wasn't going to surrender. Then he said they were going to fight to the death, just before heading for the hills. And then they were going to be back in control in a month. If I was a wild-eyed Pashtun with a turban, I don't think I'd count too heavily on Mullah Omar. The Qatar-based TV station, which has previously broadcast videotaped statements by al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, showed an unclear printed statement that appeared to be in Arabic. It said it was issued on 11 September this year. "He (Omar) warned that holy struggle would continue until Afghanistan is liberated and Islamic teachings were re-installed," al-Jazeera said in a news bulletin. Yep. Any day now... Do you get the impression the ex-potentate is in denial? Mullah Omar also reportedly accuses the US of being "arrogant and simple minded". The statement says the US disregarded human rights, referring to the revolt by Taleban prisoners at the Qala-e-Jhangi prison fort near the Afghan city of Mazer-e-Sharif last November. Mullah Omar accuses someone else of denying human rights? |
