Masood sees no military solution

The Afghan leader, Mr. Ahmad Shah Masood, whose fate is unknown, had warned in a recent interview that the Taliban and Osama bin Laden represented a threat to world stability.

"If international pressure is increased on Pakistan, the Taliban will be compelled to sit at the negotiating table," he says.
