New plan to destroy Taliban — “The international community, led by the US and Britain, is working behind the scenes on an elaborate plan to topple the tottering Taliban as quickly as possible through diplomatic pressure and replace it with a broadly based government that is to some degree democratic.

The diplomatic drive, which western officials said would accelerate in the next few weeks, is designed to depose the Taliban, preferably before any military strike against Osama bin Laden, the main suspect for the New York and Washington attacks.” Guardian Observer
