Taliban has chemical weapons: Ex-envoy

A senior Taliban leader on Friday claimed that his
outfit was in possession of chemical weapons.

"We have still not used them, but guided missiles...
have been used and the results are very encouraging,"
The News daily quoted Naseer Ahmad Rohi as saying in
Peshawar, Pakistan.

The paper said experts were sceptical about the claims
of Rohi, who served as first secretary at the Afghan
embassy in the United Arab Emirates.

While denying Pakistan's role in the provision of the
technology and weapons, Rohi said some Muslim as well
as non-Muslim friendly countries had helped them.

He said Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and his family
were moving between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

"Osama received injuries in the chest at the Tora Bora
bombing by US planes, but he survived. However, Ayman
al-Zawahiri's family, including his two wives and
kids, have been killed," he said.

He said al-Zawahiri, second-in-command in the Al Qaeda
network, was no longer in Asia.

The former envoy said Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters
had joined hands with Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's
Hezb-i-Islami and reactivated cells in several
provinces.

"Hekmatyar met Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed
Omar in Uruzgan province and both the leaders have
agreed on the war strategy and coordination among
resistance groups," he said, adding the two had
resolved to launch a joint struggle for the liberation
of Afghanistan from foreign forces.

He said Taliban would hold general election in the
country after ousting the Hamid Karzai government. "It
was Hekmatyar who said general election should be held
after the victory," Rohi added.
