World Page 6 THE BATTALION Friday, November JO.;:; Alliance says anti-Taliban force descending on city of Kandaha: KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Anti-Taliban fighters battled the hard-line militia Thursday on the outskirts of Kandahar, the ousted regime’s last bastion, a key commander said. The Taliban’s supreme leader declared the decisive battle “has now begun.” Witnesses described heavy bombing around the southern city over the past two days, and the Taliban reportedly hanged an Afghan man there Thursday after accusing him of helping Americans call in airstrikes. The northern alliance’s deputy defense minister, Bismillah Khan, told The Associated Press anti-Taliban fighters reached the eastern edge of Kandahar — the Taliban’s birthplace and the only city still under their control — and “there is heavy fighting going on.” In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem said he could not confirm or deny that anti-Taliban fighters had entered Kandahar. He indicated northern alliance troops might be in the province of the same name, which covers a large area of southern Afghanistan. ”1 can accept that they have entered the province, but not in a large movement,” he told reporters. Speaking from the capital of Kabul in a series of calls, Khan said his information was based on radio communications with his commanders at the scene. He spoke in Dari and used the word “shahr.” which means city, in reporting on the location of the troops. The Dari word for province is “wilaiyat.” The Taliban do not allow Western journalists into Kandahar and residents could not be contacted by telephone. Seeking to rally his follow ers. Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar urged his commanders in a radio message to defend their dwindling territory. “The fight has now begun. It is the best opportunity to achieve martyrdom,” a Taliban official quoted Omar as saying. “Now we have the opportunity to fight it There are some commanders who are negotiating for surrender of their forces. There are oth ers who... intend to in defensively and fight to death. — Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem Pentagon spokesman against the infidels,” meaning non-Muslims. The Taliban offi cial spoke by telephone from the border town' of Spinboldak on condition of anonymity. Kandahar residents arriving at the Pakistani border town of Chaman said the Taliban appeared determined to defend Kandahar rather than abandon it as they did Kabul. Herat and other cities. “They gave the impression that they are ready to fight,” said a man who identified himself by the single name of Ataullah. However. Stufflebeem said it was unclear how many Taliban leaders would stick with Omar, calling the Islamic movement “fractured" “There are some com® ers who are negotiating for render ot their forces.\ are others who Mullah Omar’s ordersliterj and intend to dig in defens; and fight to the deii Stufflebeem said.
