Taliban
says message delivered to bin Laden
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — After days of saying it couldn't locate Osama bin
Laden, Afghanistan's Taliban government said Thursday it had delivered a week-old
message to America's prime suspect in the terror attacks on the United States,
asking him to leave the country voluntarily.
U.S.
hopes to avoid invasion by courting Afghan opposition
The Bush administration is courting warring tribes and regional allies to break
the defiance of the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan who harbor Osama bin Laden,
focusing on an "Afghan solution" rather than a U.S. invasion force, U.S. officials
and private analysts say.
With
war on the horizon, Afghan refugee crisis looms
As the United States is poised to take military action against Afghanistan for
refusing to surrender Osama bin Laden, Pakistan and Iran could be flooded with
1 million or more new Afghan refugees, U.N. officials warn.
Protesters
storm embassy in Kabul
Thousands protested at the abandoned U.S. Embassy compound in the Afghan
capital of Kabul on Wednesday, burning cars and tearing down the U.S. seal.
In neighboring Pakistan, sources said they reached broad accord with U.S. officials
on a plan for attacks on bases inside Afghanistan.
