THE Taliban yesterday vowed to keep fighting against US forces in Afghanistan until all American soldiers leave the country and stressed that their movement had no role in the September 11 attacks.
In a statement e-mailed to media, the Taliban accused the US of using the September 11 attacks as a pretext to invade Afghanistan.
The statement added the international community was responsible for killing thousands of Afghans during the invasion and ensuing occupation.
"Each year, 9/11 reminds the Afghans of an event in which they had no role whatsoever," the Taliban said. "American colonialism has shed the blood of tens of thousands of miserable and innocent Afghans."
The US and its allies invaded Afghanistan on October 7, 2001, after the Taliban, who then ruled the country, refused to hand over Osama bin Laden.
The late al-Qaida leader was at the time living in Afghanistan.
"The Afghans have an endless stamina for a long war," the statement also said. "Through a countrywide uprising, the Afghans will send the Americans to the dustbin of history like they sent other empires of the past."
