Taliban deny involvement

SPIN BOLDAK, Oct 22: Afghanistan’s Taliban do not attack outside Afghanistan and were not involved in an attack on former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in Karachi last week, a commander said on Monday.

“The Afghan Taliban are not involved in any attacks in foreign countries,” a commander of Taliban, Mullah Hayatullah Khan, said by telephone from an undisclosed location.

“I want to tell you, we are not involved in the attack on Benazir Bhutto’s convoy,” he said.

Mr Khan said there would be no let-up in their attacks through the winter.—Reuters
