Taliban say U.S.-led forces using chemical weapons
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KABUL, Oct 22 (Reuters) - U.S.-led forces, now in their third week of
attacks against Afghanistan, have been using chemical and biological
weapons, a spokesman for the hardline ruling Taliban said on Monday.
"Today in my contact with doctors in Herat and Kandahar, they told me
that they have found signs that Americans are using biological and
chemical weapons in their attacks," Taliban information ministry
spokesman Abdul Hanan Himat told Reuters.
"The affects are transparent on the wounded; a state of poisonousness
is one of them," he said. The accusation could not be independently
confirmed.
Himat added that overnight attacks on Tarin Kot, capital of Uruzgan
province, located north of Kandahar, killed 18 civilians and wounded a
further 25 to 35.
