President Pervez Musharraf says Pakistan is facing its worst crisis for 30 years over its support for US action against Osama Bin Laden and his Taleban protectors. He feels tht it’s time to protect the future of Pakistan. Mishandling of this crisis would probably also lead to further complication of the situation in Kashmir and it’s ongoing dispute with India.
Also… The leader of Afghanistan’s Taleban regime tells a meeting of senior clerics that Osama Bin Laden will not be extradited without evidence. Period. They feel he did not have the resources, or the communications infrastructure to orchestrate such an attack.
UN officials are warning that millions of already hungry people in Afghanistan face a desperate situation as food supplies run out… Wait until the sanctions hit.
