Taliban Radio Says No Casualties 
Or Damage In Kabul
10-8-1

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - The Taliban's official Voice of Shariat radio said
on Monday that U.S.-led attacks on the Afghan capital Kabul overnight had
caused no casualties or material damage in the city.  The radio,
monitored by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), said the
airstrikes had only boosted morale in the country and Afghanistan would
fight "to its last breath of life."  Earlier, the Pakistan-based Afghan
Islamic Press reported at least 20 people had died in the attacks
unleashed to punish Kabul for harbouring Saudi-born fugitive Osama bin
Laden, prime suspect for the September 11 attacks in the United States. 
"There has not been any human or material damage yet," the radio said at
0730 local time (0330gmt).  It praised the country's army and said its
morale had been boosted by the attacks.  "The well-organised and brave
army of the Islamic Emirate will defend its Muslim nation and each metre
of the country to its last breath of life," it said.
