| Blair warns Talibs |
| 2001-09-18 |
Prime Minister Tony Blair warned Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia Tuesday to cease giving shelter to Saudi-born extremist Osama bin Laden or be treated as terrorists themselves. "The Taliban have a very clear choice, they either cease to help or harbour those that are fomenting terrorism or they will be treated as part of the terrorist apparatus themselves," he told the BBC in an interview. "They should consider very, very carefully the consequences" of not cooperating, said Blair, adding it is "important that the whole network of training people for terrorist attacks be closed down." |
