<"The rebels know very well that in the tribal areas they would be sold for a few pennies," said Mr. Afridi, who represented the border area nearest Tora Bora in Pakistan's parliament before a military government took power. "You don't need to spend $25 million. A few dollars is enough," said Mr. Afridi, referring to the reward being offered by the United States for information leading to bin Laden's capture, dead or alive.> Pakistanis might sell out bin Laden By Willis Witter THE WASHINGTON TIMES This was my message on Nov 15th, I have no problems, Osama is a dead man,....I write about these issues much earlier than most of these guys and that is one thing that helps me going, the rear mirror view of my analysis.. Message #41650 from IQBAL LATIF at Nov 15, 2001 4:18 PM Osama head now worth 25mUS$, that is quite a drooling tempting money for a lot of big Pushtun Warlords. I will tell you a small story about how Pushtuns kill for small sums as paltry as $200. The people who kill are called "Ujratis" I would be surprised if warlords dont throw him up even from the deepest of the caves. The soccer fields were killing fields Snow Shoe, I was listening to one of these interview by Mutawakil the foreign minister for Taleban, and someone asked him on BBC that we gave you the money to build a soccer stadium to play soccer so that the youth of Afghanistan have some outlet and you have turned this soccer ground into a killing field. You know what that guy replied. He said I am very grateful for the money that the international agency has given us for the soccer stadium but our priorities is a little different, we have a law and order situation on our hand and for us we would be grateful if you gave us some more money to make a proper killing field so that the youth can play in the soccer stadium! When bigots rule a nation the priorities get mingled up, Afghanistan is a classic example of a nation stuck up in a pre Renaissance period.

Pakistan rethink over support of militants atimes.com India has now given Pakistan a deadline of a few days to close down the offices of the Lashkar-i-Taiba as well as the Jaish-i-Mohammed, another militant group, and warned of "dire consequences" if it does not. Delhi says that these two groups are based in Pakistan and receive training and support from the country's intelligence service, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). Islamabad denies this, saying that India has provided no evidence to support its allegations, and says that it "will not be intimidated". India has seized the opportunity launch a diplomatic initiative to push its contention that the separatist struggle being waged in Kashmir is actually terrorism. The Jaish-e-Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba are Islamic groups fighting to separate the mostly Muslim region of Kashmir from India.
