The Taliban is prepared to put Osama bin Laden on trial in an Afghan court if the US provides solid evidence against him, Afghan ambassador to Pakistan Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef said today.
"We are prepared to try him, if America provides solid evidence of Osama bin Laden's involvement in attacks in New York and Washington," he said.
Asked if the Taliban was prepared to allow a trial of bin Laden in another country, he said: "We are willing to talk about that, but the first is that we must be given the evidence".
Pakistan said the evidence gathered against bin Laden over the September 11th attacks is "enough for an indictment".
Britain's Prime Minister, Mr Tony Blair, yesterday published what he described as solid evidence of bin Laden's complicity.
