ISLAMABAD, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- Taliban supreme leader
Mulla Mohammad Omar has said that his fighters would step up attacks on foreign
forces in the coming months, which will surprise many, local newspaper Daily
Times reported on Sunday.
"With the grace of Allah the fighting will be
increased manifold and it would be much more organized. Our previous predictions
about attacks were not incorrect," Daily Times quoted Mulla Omar in his Eid
message.
"I am confident that the fighting will be a surprise
for many. I advise the Mujahideen to maintain unity in their ranks as rift in
their ranks affected jihad against the former Soviets," he said.
The local newspaper received the two-and-half page
Pashtun message which is issued by a Taliban spokesman through email.
Omar said, "Our enemy has faced defeat despite his
misleading programs and his move about so-called democracy has also failed. The
aggressors released fake films to malign and weaken us...The enemy propaganda
has achieved nothing and the nation is behind us."
Dismissing the notion that Pakistan was supporting
the Taliban, he said, "America used Pakistani airfields for attacks on
Afghanistan...In my opinion, those who have a mind will not accept the notion of
Pakistani support for Taliban.
