Taliban invite Pak govt, military, people to join hands against US

PESHAWAR: Members of the Taliban delegation holding talks with the NWFP government on Tuesday distributed pamphlets asking the government, military and people of Pakistan to join hands with the Taliban against the United States. The pamphlets were distributed at the Shahi Mehmankhana, where the provincial government and the Taliban discussed peace in Swat valley for over seven hours. The two-page pamphlet asks for a joint struggle for the implementation of Shariah law in the country. It says President Pervez Musharraf will be put on trial in a Shariah court by the Taliban shura for launching operations in Waziristan, and against Jamia Hafsa in Islamabad. The pamphlet warns that if any action is taken against the Taliban anywhere in the country in the future, the ANP-PPP government will be held responsible. The pamphlet says militant warlord Baitullah Mehsud is their leader and the Taliban will continue to fight for the cause of Islam under his leadership. When Awami National Party (ANP) NWFP President Afrasiab Khattak was asked about the distribution of pamphlets by the Taliban delegation, he claimed ignorance of the development. daud khattak
