Taliban might poison food 
By Matt Kelley
Associated Press 

The Taliban might be planning to poison food aid being distributed in
Afghanistan and blame it on the United States, the Pentagon said
Wednesday.“ We are going to make sure that that is as widely known as
fast and as far as we can,” said Rear Adm.  John D.  Stufflebeem.He
said the Pentagon has obtained

information of such a possible plot and chose “to release that
information now before it becomes a fact.”

Speaking at a Pentagon news conference, Stufflebeem gave no details on
the kind of information he was referring to.The United States has
dropped more than 700,000 packets of food meant for the hungry and
displaced population since it launched its bombing campaign over
Afghanistan Oct.  7. 

 Other relief organizations also are distributing food in the country
and the Taliban militia that controls most of the country has
confiscated some of those foodstuffs.“If the food comes from America
it will not be tainted,” Stufflebeem said he wanted to tell people. 
“But if it comes from Taliban control, they must be careful.”He also
said troops Wednesday retrieved the Black Hawk helicopter that crashed
Friday in Pakistan while supporting a covert raid into Afghanistan. 

A recovery crew had tried to retrieve it Saturday but aborted the
mission when it came under small-arms fire from unknown
gunmen.Stufflebeem also called the Taliban and al-Qaida network fighters
“tough warriors” and said he has been “surprised at how doggedly
they’re hanging on to power.”He repeated Bush administration
cautions that “this is going to be a long, long campaign” against
terrorism.Earlier Wednesday, President Bush told employees of a Maryland
business that America was winning the war on both fronts — in
Afghanistan and in the efforts to protect America’s shores.“We’re
patient.  We ’re firm.  We have got a strategy that is going to work. 
And make no mistake about it, justice will be done,” the president
said.
