  NATO: U.S. Proves bin Laden Link to Attacks 

  By PAUL GEITNER 
  .c The Associated Press 

  BRUSSELS, Belgium (Oct. 2) - The United States gave its NATO allies clear evidence 
Tuesday that ``conclusively'' links Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida network to the 
Sept. 11 terror attacks, NATO's secretary-general said. 

  In response, the alliance dropped the only condition on invoking Article 5 of its 
charter, which states that an attack on one member is an attack on all, 
Secretary-General Lord Robertson said. 

  ``We don't intend at the moment to discuss how NATO will translate this decision 
into operational action,'' Robertson said. ``The United States are still developing 
their thinking and they will come back to the alliance in due course when that 
thinking is crystallized.'' 

  NATO allies last month agreed to invoke Article 5 if Washington could show that the 
attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were directed from abroad. 

  Tuesday's classified briefing had demonstrated that, and Article 5 was now ``fully 
invoked,'' Robertson said. 

  NATO officials said that means each member state is morally bound to help the United 
States if asked. 

  ``The United States of America can rely on the full support of its 18 NATO allies in 
the campaign against international terrorism,'' Robertson said. 

  Robertson refused to elaborate on the ``additional information'' provided by U.S. 
Ambassador at Large Francis X. Taylor, who is President Bush's coordinator for 
counterterrorism. 

  The NATO secretary-general said it must remain secret for now ``for obvious 
reasons.'' 

  He said the briefing covered the attacks themselves, the results of the 
investigation so far, what is known about bin Laden and al-Qaida, ``their involvement 
in the attacks and in previous terrorist activity, and the links between al-Qaida and 
the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.'' 

  The United States was also briefing its allies directly in their capitals, Robertson 
said. In Pakistan, which neighbors Afghanistan and has promised to cooperate with the 
United States against bin Laden, the U.S. ambassador briefed the president, Gen. 
Pervez Musharraf, on the status of the U.S. investigation of bin Laden. 

  In the Belgian capital, where the NATO session was held, Russian President Vladimir 
Putin was meeting EU leaders Tuesday, and was to see Robertson on Wednesday. Putin has 
thrown his support behind the American-led anti-terrorist coalition, drawing his 
country into closer cooperation with the West. 

  ``The facts are clear and compelling,'' Robertson said of the U.S. briefing. ``The 
information presented points conclusively to an al-Qaida role.'' 

  ``We know that the individuals who carried out these attacks were part of the 
worldwide terrorist network al-Qaida headed by Osama bin Laden and his key lieutenants 
and protected by the Taliban,'' he said. ``It is clear that all roads lead to al-Qaida 
and pinpoint Osama bin Laden as having been involved in it.'' 

  Robertson's comments came ahead of a speech by British Prime Minister Tony Blair, 
who warned Afghanistan's Taliban rulers that they must ``surrender terrorists or 
surrender power.'' 

  The Taliban, an Islamic militia that controls the majority of Afghanistan, said 
Sunday they know where bin Laden is, and that he is under their control. Previously, 
they had said they didn't know the Saudi millionaire's location, but they could 
deliver messages to him.
