Pakistan to seek bin Laden handover

A delegation of senior Pakistani officials will go to Afghanistan tomorrow to demand that the ruling Taliban militia hand over Osama bin Laden to the US, a top Government official said.

The decision was made today amid countrywide demonstrations by hard-line Muslims, who oppose Pakistan’s decision to give its ‘‘full support’’ to the US should it retaliate against Afghanistan’s Taliban for harbouring bin Laden and his organisation Al Qaida.
