Afghanistan

Taliban leader Mullah Omar published a speech on a jihadi website. “Neighbors should help Afghans drive Western forces from Afghanistan as they had done during Soviet Union™s invasion,” Omar said. He also said the Taliban should do everything possible to minimize civilian casualties. A Taliabn suicide bomber killed one policeman and six civilians in Spin Boldak on the Pakistani border.
