Afghan leader: Al-Qaeda set to yield

ISLAMABAD -- Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda fighters, defending their last hideouts in the cave-riddled mountains of eastern Afghanistan, were due to surrender on Wednesday under a deal with their Afghan attackers.

Haji Mohammad Zaman, commanding local forces assaulting al-Qaeda strongholds in the rugged Tora Bora region, told an Afghan news service that bin Laden's forces had sued for peace.

"Al-Qaeda fighters in the mountains have asked for time. All kinds of attacks have been stopped against them until tomorrow morning [Wednesday afternoon in Manila]," Zaman said.

He said al-Qaeda fighters had promised to start laying down their arms at 8 a.m. (0330 GMT). Reuters
