"If America attacks our homes, it is necessary for all Muslims, especially for Afghans, to wage a holy war," Mullah Mohammed Hasan Akhund, | "God is on our side, and if the world's people try to set fire to Afghanistan, God will protect us and help us." |
the deputy Taliban leader, said Monday, according to the state-run Radio Shariat. "God is on our side, and if the world's people try to set fire to Afghanistan, God will protect us and help us."
The Taliban's Akhund said it was unimaginable that the Taliban or bin Laden could have played a role in the attacks, which left more than 5,000 dead or missing. "But the U.S.A. and all imperialists in the world, Jews and Christians and their supporters, are intending to destroy the Islamic order which has been established at the cost of your blood under this pretext," Akhund said.
