Page 6 THE BATTALION Wednesday, November ^
Kabul
Continued from Page 1
Abdullah, invited all Afghan
factions — except the Taliban
— to come to Kabul to negotiate
on the country’s future. 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. ... There is no responsible
authority to respond to the needs
of the people.”
