Radio: Taliban Could Hand Over Bin Laden
LONDON (Reuters) - An Afghan Taliban radio station, monitored by the BBC, said on Thursday the Taliban authorities had said they were ready to hand over Osama bin Laden (news - web sites)to an Islamic court if the United States could prove his guilt in the terror attacks on the U.S.

The British Broadcasting Corp said the report was picked up from Radio Voice of Shari'ah of Balkh Province, Mazar-e Sharif.

It quoted the radio as saying: ``The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (news - web sites) (IEA) has honestly asked America to give clear and substantial evidence for what it considers Osama to be responsible for, and the IEA will hand him over to one of the Islamic courts of the world in order to be tried.''

Secretary of State Colin Powell (news - web sites) said on Thursday Saudi-born dissident bin Laden was a suspect in the attacks on New York and Washington in which thousands of people were feared dead.

The BBC also quoted the radio as saying: ``The IEA condemns the (terror) act once again and expresses its sympathy for the American people....''

It said Afghanistan did not expect the United States to ''resort to irreparable measures before discovering the facts.'' The Taliban have consistently said they did not believe bin Laden was involved in the attacks.
