U.S. warplanes target retreating Taliban fightc
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) —
The rout of the Taliban accelerated
Wednesday with the Islamic militia
losing control of Jalalabad in the
east, once-loyal Pashtun tribesmen
joining in the revolt in the south
and many of their fighters fleeing
into the mountains to evade U.S.
airstrikes.
The Taliban is “in retreat virtual
ly all over the country,” Vice
President Dick Cheney said in
Washington.
A day after seizing the capital,
Kabul, elements of the northern
alliance consolidated their power by
taking over the defense and interior
ministries — temporary measures,
the alliance insisted, until a U.N.-
supervised political settlement rep
resenting all ethnic groups.
In the south, there were reports
— although impossible to confirm
— of fighting in the streets of
Kandahar, the Taliban’s birthplace.
Many of Afghanistan’s 23 or
more Pashtun groups appeared to
have- risen up against the Taliban,
Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm.
John Stufflebeem said. “Whether or
not they’re working in concert, we
don’t know,” he told reporters in
Washington.
The tribal leaders were Pashtuns
— members of Afghanistan’s largest
ethnic group, which served as the
backbone of the Taliban’s harsh five-
UZBEK.
100 kr
year regime.
“It is time for -the rest of
Afghanistan — particularly the eth
nic groups in the south — to join the
uprising against the Taliban and
throw off their oppressive rule,”
British Prime Minister Tony Blair
said in London. “The sooner they
act, the greater the benefit for all the
people of Afghanistan.”
Cheney said the Taliban’s retreat
was “a very good beginning to
what’s likely to be a long struggle”
which will end only with the cap
ture of Osama bin Laden and the
destruction of his al-Qaida terrorist
network.
President Bush launched
airstrikes against Afghanistan on
Oct. 7 after the Taliban refused to
surrender bin Laden, sought in the
Sept. 1 1 terrorist attacks on the
World Trade Center and the
Pentagon.
Taliban officials insisted the
Islamic movement remained intact
in its southern strongholds despite
its losses. A Taliban official. Mullah
Abdullah, told the Afghan Islamic
Press the movement’s supreme
leader Mullah Mohammed Omar
and his “guest,” bin Laden, were
“safe and well.”
