Taliban Leader Vows Jihad Against U.S.

[ECH1969]

Fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, in a message to mark the three-day Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha which starts in Afghanistan on Tuesday, reiterated his call for jihad, or holy war, against the United States.

His public vow for more attacks against U.S. forces in Afghanistan comes a day after Afghan President Hamid Karzai suggested he "get in touch" if he wanted peace.

In a message carried by the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) news agency, Omar says, "The Taliban attacks in Afghanistan will further intensify in this New Year, which will force Americans to leave Afghanistan very soon."

Omar, whose whereabouts have been unknown since U.S.-led forces toppled his government in late 2001, says jihad is a religious obligation for Muslims as the United States was "the biggest enemy of Islam."

1. Does

Omar still sit in his pickup truck and make noises like the engine running?

He should go have an "intelligent debate" with Pat Robertson, at least they are fellow travelers.
