Afghan clerics ask Osama to leave voluntarily

straitstimes.asia1.com.sg

KABUL -- Islamic clerics from across Afghanistan on Thursday adopted a resolution asking Osama bin Laden to leave Afghanistan of his own accord, a Taleban official told AFP.

The clerics also passed a resolution that called for a jihad, or holy war, if the United States attacks Afghanistan, said Mullah Mohammad Muslim Haqqani, the deputy minister for higher education.

'They asked the Taleban to persuade Osama to leave Afghanistan at the proper time and of his own choice,' Mullah Haqqani, a participant in the talks, told AFP minutes after the meeting finished.

'They also said that if the US attacks Afghanistan it will be the obligation of every Muslim to carry out jihad.'

The resolutions were passed at the end of a two-day meeting of hundreds of clerics from all 32 provinces of Afghanistan.

Haqqani said that the elders had asked Taleban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar to make a decision as soon as possible, indicating that although the resolution should be binding, Omar was the supreme spiritual authority and would have the last word.

For US President George W. Bush and his military planners in the Pentagon, the resolution is unlikely to satisfy US demands for Osama's immediate and unconditional extradition. -- AFP
