DUBAI, March 19: A Taliban spokesman vowed on Friday the group would attack US and Pakistan forces if they did not stop hunting Taliban and Al Qaeda militants.

"We will carry out more attacks against international coalition forces if they continue to chase us," the spokesman, identified as Abdul Latif Hakimi, said in taped comments translated into Arabic by Al Jazeera television.

"The Pakistani government has betrayed us in a way that history won't forget and this is why we will launch attacks against them," said Latif Hakimi, whose face was covered when he appeared in the broadcast. -Reuters
