Take out Omar first: Musharraf tells Bush timesofindia.com WASHINGTON: Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf will this week urge Washington to "take out" Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammad Omar before targeting terror suspect Osama Bin Laden, a report said on Monday. Musharraf will tell US Secretary of State Colin Powell during his visit to Islamabad that Washington must first target those giving shelter to suspected terrorists, the president said in an interview with the daily newspaper USA Today and US television broadcaster CBS. "Get Mullah Omar, and Osama won't be able to operate. He'll be on the run," said Musharraf, whose country was the Taliban's strongest ally. "You must take out the center of gravity," he said in the interview conducted this weekend in Islamabad. Washington is waging a ear against terrorism following the Spetember 11 suicide hijack attacks on New York and Washington that it blames on Bin Laden and his al-Qaeda network who have been "guests" in Afghanistan for five years. Musharraf has thrown Pakistan's weight behind the US-led global campaign against terror, despite mounting domestic opposition to that support. Powell was due to arrive in Islamabad later on Monday on the first leg of a South Asian visit aimed at calming tensions between nuclear rivals India and Pakistan, and to explore options for post-Taliban Afghanistan. Musharraf told USA Today that Pakistan does not know Bin Laden's exact location in Afghanistan but that its intelligence services are working hard to find him. But also predicted that the Taliban would not be able to "muster enough strength" to defeat US ground forces when they are deployed in Afghanistan, as widely expected. He said fundamentalist militia has been hiding its ammunition in mountains and caves to prevent the US-led forces from finding and destroying it. ( AFP )
