RIYADH, SEPT 25, SPA -- THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA HAS ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT HERE TODAY:
'THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA HAS STOOD BY ALL IT'S MEANS WITH THE BROTHERLY AFGHAN PEOPLE DURING THEIR HEROIC STRUGGLE TO ACHIEVE INDEPENDENCE. THIS STRUGGLE HAD ACCORDED AFGHANISTAN A SPECIAL STATUSIN THE HEARTS OF THE SUPPORTERS OF THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS TO FREEDOM ANDINDEPENDENCE EVERYWHERE UNTIL, THE ALMIGHTY ALLAH, HAD ENABLED THE VICTORY AND AFGHANISTAN HAD REGAINED ITS INDEPENDENCE AND FREEDOM.'
'IT IS A REGRETTABLE THAT THE TALIBAN GOVERNMENT HAD BEEN USING THIS SPECIAL STATUS OF AFGHANISTAN NOT TO BUILD BROTHERLY RELATIONS OR SET UP HIGH ISLAMIC VALUES BUT TO MAKE ITS LAND A CENTER TO ATTRACT AND TRAIN A NUMBER OF MISGUIDED PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONALITIES AND IN PARTICULAR FROM THE CITIZENS OF THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA INORDER TO CARRY OUT CRIMINAL ACTS AGAINST EVERY TENET OF SHARIA AND FAITH IN ADDITION TO TALIBAN'S CONTINUAL REFUSAL TO HANDOVER THOSE CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE.
THE TALIBAN GOVERNMENT, AFTER WHAT ALL HAS HAPPENED AND IS STILL HAPPENING, CONTINUES TO USE ITS LANDS TO HARBOR, ARMOR AND ENCOURAGE THOSE CRIMINALS TO GO ON WITH THEIR TERROR OPERATIONS, TERRORIZING THE INNOCENT PEOPLE AND SPREADING FEAR AND DESTRUCTION OVER THE WORLD, CAUSING HARM TO ISLAM AND SPOILING THE NAME OF MUSLIMS ALL AROUND THE WORLD.
THE TALIBAN GOVERNMENT DOES NOT GIVE ANY ATTENTION TO THE CALLS AND PLEADINGS OF THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA TO STOP HARBORING CRIMINALS, TRAINING AND INSTIGATING THEM. IT IS ALSO NOT CARING ABOUT OTHER EFFORTS AND CALLS FROM OTHERS ON THIS ISSUE AND THE LATEST AMONG THESE, WAS A CALL FROM PAKISTANI PRESIDENT PERVEZ MUSHARRAF.'
'THEREFORE, THE GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA ANNOUNCES THAT ALL RELATIONS WITH THE TALIBAN GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN SEVERED.'
'WITH THIS ANNOUNCEMENT, SAUDI ARABIA ALSO AFFIRMS ITS CONTINUOUSSTANDS WITH THE AFGHAN PEOPLE AND ITS CONSTANT SUPPORT TO WHAT EVER THAT COULD ACHIEVE THE SECURITY, STABILITY AND PROSPERITY TO AFGHANISTAN.'--SPA
