Karzai sold country to US: Mullah Omar
AFP, Islamabad
Reclusive Taliban leader Mullah Omar Wednesday accused Afghan President Hamid Karzai of selling his country out to the United States, according to press reports. "The pact in Washington between (US President George W.) Bush and Karzai is in fact a deed to sell the motherland of Afghanistan until an indefinite period," Omar said in a statement given by a senior Taliban member to the Pakistan-based private Afghan Islamic Press. "The valiant people of Afghanistan will never accept it. This is not the Taliban's, but the voice of conscience of independent Afghan people," Omar was quoted as saying. The statement's authenticity could not be immediately verified.
