Taliban seeks Islamic conference to help catch terrorists

Afghanistan's Taliban leaders have asked for a special meeting of the Organisation of the Islamic Conferences to discuss the terrorist attacks in the US.

The Taliban claim they want help in getting the culprits.

Sohail Shaheen, a spokesman for the Taliban embassy in Islamabad, said the Taliban want the perpetrators to be punished.

But they also want to see evidence linking Osama bin Laden to the US atrocities.

He said: "We have urged both the OIC and the United Nations to investigate the matter and help in getting the culprits,"

He also complained that American spy planes have been violating Afghan airspace since the crisis began.

The United States believes the attacks in New York and Washington were instigated by Osama bin Laden, who lives in Afghanistan. Washington has demanded he be handed over.
