The US said on Sunday that it simply doesn't believe the latest statement issued by the Taliban which says that Osamma bin Laden is under its control. A Taliban envoy also made it clear, once again, that they still refuse to hand over bin Laden.
US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said that he has no reason to believe the Taliban, which had said earlier that bin Laden was missing. He said that the Taliban had made no move to comply with US President George W. Bush's demand to surrender bin Laden. The US says they will use a multi-faceted campaign to track down terrorists. A Taliban envoy to Islamabad said that bin Laden was now being hidden, and the US had no right to attack Afghanistan without evidence of wrong-doing. On Sunday, the Taliban resumed the trial of eight foreign aid workers accused of preaching Christianity.
