Taleban appoints commander for border area

The supreme leader of the Taleban, Mullah Muhammad Omar, has appointed Maulvi Muhammad Rasool as commander of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border area in view of the impending United States attack on Afghanistan, Online news agency reports.

Rasool is regarded as a trusted aide of Omar and is renowned for his combat skills.

Rasool, who is also the governor of Afghanistan's Namroz province, met with Omar Wednesday and briefed him about the situation on the borders and the deployment of troops.

Meanwhile, the governor of Khost province, Maulana Abdul Rauf, has warned the US and its allies of attacking the country, saying that Afghanistan will prove to be a graveyard for the intruding forces.

"Thousands of student clerics have pledged to sacrifice their lives in the jihad against the US," he said.

"We will soon send an army of fighters from Khost to Kabul to wage a holy war against the American forces. It will not be easy for America and its allies to take over Afghanistan as we are ready to sacrifice our lives to stop them," he said.
