"While most of Kabul appears to be glad the Taliban is gone, many residents - mostly Pashtun - are worried about what will happen now that the city is under the control of the northern alliance, made up mainly of Tajik and Uzbek troops."

Try not to worry...the Turks are on the way.

This is the guy that introduced Bin Laden during that taped interview aired after our initial attack, right?

[Straight Vermonter]

I think you are thinking of the Egyptian doctor, Al-somthingorother.

[blam]

Fox News just reported that Atef is/was a "top deputy' of Osama.

[jackchaos]

Atef is the Military trainer of Al Qaeda. He never spoke on those videos that were released. He is an older one.

[pubmom]

He was an older one.

[Commonsense]

The meter's ticking on these evil doers.

[NittanyLion]

You are correct:

The undated video, thought to have been made in Afghanistan, was delivered to the Kabul office of the al-Jazeera Arabic-language television channel. The Qatar-based station said the film was made recently, but did not say whether it had been made before or after the September 11 terrorist attacks on the US.

The film shows bin Laden flanked by his closest collaborator, Ayman al-Zawahiri, both wearing white robes and turbans. Mohamed Atef, bin Laden's chief of military operations, also makes a fleeting appearance.

bold off

These terrorist attacks indiscriminately killed 224 innocent civilians and wounded over 5,000 others. These terrorist are believed to be part of an international criminal conspiracy headed by Usama Bin Laden. The U. S. Government is offering a reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction, in any country, of those people listed above.

[lonestar]

bin Laden--dead! Who wants to go through a "trial?"

[upchuck]

Omar says he would rather die that work in a broad-based government such as called for by the U.N.

Hey Omar. If you don't die you won't have to worry about "working in a broad-based government." Typically, there is no govenment in a max security prison. Strictly a dictatorship. Can you spell b-e-n-d-o-v-e-r? LOL!

"They are killing Taliban that won't surrender and al-Qaida that are trying to move from one place to another," Rumsfeld told reporters as he flew from Washington to a naval training station near Chicago. He said U.S. forces in the country numbered in the hundreds.

And now that the tape from the cockpit of flight UA 93 has been released, and I listen to our pilots fighting desparately for their lives and the lives of the innocent people on the plane, I say kill ALL TALIBAN AND/OR AL_QAEDA on sight unless they offer to surrender. If they offer to surrender, take the bastards prisoner, interrogate them, and when finished interrogating them, put a gun up to their heads and blow their damned brains out.

Allah to Muhammad Atef: "Muhammad Atef, since you perverted my religion to justify the slaughter of innocents you have a special punishment!

Instead of 72 virgins, you get to live with 72 hungry wild boar sows. Every 15 minutes they will devour you, starting with your fingers and toes until they eat your heart. Then, the process will be repeated every 15 minutes for eternity!

You will not be alone! Omar and OBL will join you in this eternity of hell and all who financed you and commited your acts of terror!

Come, the 72 wild boar sows are hungry and need to be feed on you!"

[hchutch]

Scratch him off the list. Where can I get a good cigar to celebrate?

"A 19-year-old fighter named Abdul Raqib said he personally carried out such an execution to avenge his father and brother's slaying.

"I made them stand in a line, and then I fired," he said. "I was so angry."

I feel your pain Abdul.

...and after their head is blown off, the Military Court can have a trial and declare the sentence, which has already been carried out.

It sounds good to me.

[gatorman]

(CBS) A top operator in the al-Qaida network, Muhammad Atef, has been killed, reports CBS News Correspondent David Martin, citing an intelligence report.

Quick . . . who has the pig skin ready so when they find his body, he can go to Allah appropriately wrapped?

FReeregards . . .

Is there a transcript of the tape of Flight 93. I'd like to read it.
