From Times Wire Reports
Fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Omar called on Afghanistan’s neighbors to help his militants oust President Hamid Karzai and force foreign troops out of the country.
In southern Afghanistan a police vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb, leaving four officers dead and six wounded, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization said.
Omar’s message -- the authenticity of which couldn’t be immediately confirmed -- said “neighbors should help Afghans drive Western forces from Afghanistan as they helped them during the Soviet Union’s invasion.”
