Taliban FM warns Uzbekistan
 Islamabad, Sept 24, IRNA -- Afghanistan ruling Taliban Monday sounded a note of warning to Uzbekistan that it will be responsible for any dire consequences if it allows the use of its airspace to the U.S. in its attack on Afghanistan.

Talibaan Foreign Minister Maulvi Wakil Ahmed Mutawakkil, in a letter to the Uzbek foreign minister, has accused Uzbekistan of allowing the use of its airspace for an American spy plane which was shot down in Samangan province three days ago.

"Soviet troops had invaded Afghanistan through Uzbekistan. We want to make it clear that Uzbekistan will take responsibility if it allows its territory for American attack," Mutwakkil warned.
