Taleban says Laden is innocent

Notwithstanding United States President George W Bush's threat that military action would be taken against the perpetrators of the Tuesday attack on New York and Washington, Afghanistan's Taleban on Thursday rallied behind Osama bin Laden, the prime suspect in the attacks.

The militia made it clear that it had no intention of handing the Saudi millionaire to the American authorities.

The supreme leader of the Taleban, Mullah Mohammad Omar, said in a statement that the attacks could only have been carried out by trained pilots, and that Laden did not have any under his disposal.

"The incidents, which took place in America, are testimony to Osama bin Laden's innocence," he said.

"Blaming Osama without any reason is a move by the Western intelligence agencies to escape their own failure."
