Foreign troops will flee Afghanistan - Taliban chief
December 29, 2006
Kabul: Foreign troops will be forced out of Afghanistan in the face of Taliban attacks, the Islamic group's leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, was reported as saying in a rare message on Friday.
In the supposed message from Omar, sent to the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) news agency to mark the Muslim festival of Eid Al Adha, Omar said "aggressor forces" in Afghanistan and Iraq were facing defeat.
He said, "I am confident that the enemy will run away in degradation and embarrassment ... Afghans have always expelled their enemies by force and no enemy or aggressive force has left Afghanistan at its own will".
Over 4,000 people have been killed in Afghanistan this year, the bloodiest since US-led forces ousted the Taliban government in 2001.
Omar, who has a $10 million U.S. government bounty on his head, disappeared shortly after the Taliban were ousted.
