The NEFA Foundation has obtained a new communiqué from Taliban supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar in which he appeals to "Muslims to help their Mujahedeen brothers" and "do Jihad" because it is "clear" that the "invaders will never withdraw their forces..." He also advises the Mujahedeen that they must not allow the "enemy" to create "cleavage[s]" that divide their forces.
Separately, NEFA has also obtained a new communiqué from the Taliban on the battle for the town Musa Qala, which asks "how many weeks will [the] invaders be able to" maintain control of the Musa Qala district?

With security agencies hunting for clues to Friday’s attack, which targeted but missed a close ally of President Pervez Musharraf, a doctor said many of the victims suffered severe shrapnel wounds.
