In a joint meeting attended by the local Taliban commanders, the tribes including Mashwani, Mamond, Salarzai, Shinwari and Gujjar have pledged their support to the ruling militia. The commanders had approached these tribes after evolving the strategy to counter ground attack by American commandos. The tribesmen have also promised that they would resist the installation of a puppet regime in Kabul, saying that the Afghan people will never accept the agenda of the United States. A tribal elder at the meeting said that the return of former King Zahir Shah as next head of the state would make matters worse. The country's political situation has changed in many ways and the ex-monarch will be unable to work in the current situation, the tribal elder said. ================================================================= NY Transfer News Collective * A Service of Blythe Systems Since 1985 - Information for the Rest of Us 339 Lafayette St., New York, NY 10012 http://www.blythe.org e-mail: nyt@blythe.org ================================================================= nytas-10.28.01-20:16:03-31862
