Taliban deny 'Holy War' claim

Afghanistan's Taliban rulers have reportedly denied a claim that they had declared Holy War on the US

Media around the world had reported that Afghan radio was carrying reports of a declaration of "holy war", or jihad, against the States. New reports say this is not the case.

The leader of Afghanistan's Taliban regime Mullah Mohammad Omar says a grand council of Islamic clerics will meet to decide Osama bin Laden's fate today.
