Taliban Threatens to Wage War

By Associated Press

September 15, 2001, 8:17 AM EDT

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia on 
Saturday threatened to wage war on any country aiding a U.S. assault 
on their country.

"If any regional or neighboring country helps the United States 
attack us it would spark extraordinary dangers ... It would draw us 
into a reprisal war," said Abdul Salam Zaeef, the militia's 
ambassador to Pakistan.

The comments came as Pakistani sources confirmed that Pakistan had 
agreed to a full list of U.S. demands for a possible attack on 
neighboring Afghanistan, including a multinational force to be based 
within its borders.

Afghanistan, which shares a 1,560-mile border with Pakistan, is 
believed to be harboring Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, the key 
suspect in the airborne strikes on New York and Washington. The 
Taliban, Afghanistan's hardline Islamic militia, have refused to 
surrender bin Laden to U.S. authorities.

Zaeef, speaking to reporters in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, 
did not name Pakistan specifically as a target. But he said that war 
would be declared on any country that allowed either its land or 
airspace to be used for attacks on Afghanistan.

"If neighboring or regional countries, particularly Islamic 
countries, give a positive response to American demands for military 
bases it would spark off extraordinary danger," Zaeef said. "We would 
attack such countries and occupy their territories."

Zaeef reiterated earlier Taliban statements that bin Laden could not 
have carried out Tuesday's attacks.

"Osama neither has the capacity nor the facilities to train the 
pilots and then launch such a huge attack," he said.
