The top U.N. envoy for Afghanistan out lined a plan for a two-year tran sitional government with a multinational security force. Abdullah’s words were reit erated by Burhanuddin Rabbani, the alliance leader and Afghanistan’s deposed presi dent, who also said he expected to return to Kabul on Wednesday. “There is no room for the Taliban” in any political settle ment in Afghanistan, Rabbani told Qatari-based Al-Jazeera tel evision. In Washington, President Bush said the United States was working with the alliance to ensure they “respect the human rights of the people they are lib erating” and recognize “that a future government must include a representative from all of Afghanistan.” Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said a “small num ber” of U.S. troops were in Kabul, advising the alliance. He told journalists at the Pentagon that the troops were not enough to police the city or prevent retaliation by the opposition. Bush said there was “great progress” in the campaign launched Oct. 7 to uproot al- Qaida and punish the Taliban for harboring bin Laden, the chief suspect in the September terror attacks on the United States. In the streets of Kabul, thou sands of people celebrated, honk ing car horns and ringing bicycle bells. They flouted the strict ver sion of Islamic law imposed by the Taliban that regulated almost every aspect of life, down to ban ning shaving and music. “I used to play this at home, but very quietly and then I would check to see if anyone was outside,” Abdul Rehman said as he turned up the volume on his cassette tape recorder blaring out the music of his favorite Afghan folk singer. Zul Gai, the owner of a bar ber shop lined up with men looking to lose their beards. smiled broadly. “This has been my best business day in many long years,” he said. Most women, however, were too cautious to shed their all- encompassing burqas, unsure what the new rules would be. Hundreds of northern alliance troops hunted down lin gering Taliban and foreigners who came to Afghanistan to join al-Qaida. At least 11 Arabs and Pakistanis were slain and their bodies mutilated. Alliance fighters roamed the streets in taxis, pickup trucks and cars, brandishing Kalashnikov rifles and grenade launchers. Troops set up road blocks in neighborhoods where Arabs and Pakistanis lived. Five Pakistanis, who were firing randomly from trees in a public park, were killed by alliance soldiers. A Red Cross official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the bodies were in pieces when volunteers removed them for burial. Four Arabs died when their pickup truck was blasted by a rocket. Their charred bodies were dragged from their vehicle by residents who kicked and poked at them. Two other Arabs were killed outside a m htary base near the U.N. guest house. As they fled Kabul, the Taliban took with them two Americans and six other foreign aid workers jailed since August for allegedly preaching Christianity in Muslim Afghanistan. They were reported ly taken to the southern city of Kandahar. There were signs of a break down of Taliban control in Kandahar — the birthplace of the hardline Islamic movement. A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said an armed force of Pashtuns were moving against the Taliban near Kandahar. The official would not elaborate. At least 200 Pashtun fighters mutinied in Kandahar, and fight ing broke out by the city’s air port, said a Taliban official. Mullah Najibullah, at the Pakistani border at Chaman. Abdullah said the situation in Kandahar was “chaotic.” He said “Taliban authorities are not seen. ...
