Osama's movements monitored: Taliban

DUBAI, JULY 9. The supreme leader of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban said the Islamic militia was monitoring and restricting the movements of Osama bin Laden and denied the Saudi-born terrorist had training camps in Afghanistan.

Mullah Mohammad Omar made his comments in an interview to the Al- Ittihad newspaper published here. The daily said it had interviewed him in Kandahar, Afghanistan's spiritual capital.

``The logical solution to Osama's case is in reaching an understanding and until now the United States has not given its attention to a solution and wants to impose a solution in its own way which we reject,'' he said.

``We are monitoring Osama's movements and have restricted his movements, but the U.S. considers that a form of us helping Osama. For a single guest in our country America punishes the entire Afghani people. This is terrorism,'' the Taliban leader said.
