Afghan opposition blames U.S. attacks on "triangle"

A spokesman for an anti-Taliban opposition alliance on Wednesday blamed a "triangle" of interests operating from Afghanistan for the catastrophic terror attacks on the United States.
Abdul Basir Hotak, who represents Afghanistan's U.N.-recognised government in Beijing, named the three elements as exiled Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, Pakistan's military intelligence and the Taliban, who are sheltering bin Laden.

"We are surprised very much that until now the international community do not understand what is the original face of the international terrorism," Hotak told Reuters.

"They are talking only about Osama bin Laden," said Hotak, in reference to speculation about who might be responsible for Tuesday's suicide attacks with hijacked airliners on New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington.

"Without cooperation and without coordination from other sides it is impossible for him to do anything," he said, adding:

"We believe that this is a triangle between Osama bin Laden, ISI, which is the intelligence section of the Pakistani army, and the Taliban."

Very glad to hear that JPR.

A relative of mine was in one of the nearby buildings and was sending out emails describing what was happening after the first hit. We all told him to get out ASAP and he did, thank God.

My sis in law has some colleagues who were in one of the WTC towers on a software project, and they are unaccounted for.
