TALIBAN insurgents are warning Afghans not to vote in next month's presidential runoff election, threatening violence on polling day to stop them.

The group denounced the Nov. 7 vote between President Hamid Karzai and challenger Abdullah Abdullah as "a failed, American process."

The group said in a statement Saturday they will "launch operations against the enemy and stop people from taking part."

The group warned that anyone who casts a ballot "will bear responsibility for their actions."

The run-off has been called because of widespread fraud in the first round of voting in August.
