"All these actions make clear, our war on terror will be much broader than the battlefields and beachheads of the past."
-- President Bush

WASHINGTON -- AP
President Bush condemned Afghanistan's Taliban rulers for harboring Osama bin Laden and his followers today and the United States pressed its military and diplomatic campaign against terror.

Peace groups marched in the capital, protesting that innocent lives could be lost in the coming retaliation against prime suspect bin Laden, believed hiding in Afghanistan.

In his weekly radio address, Bush said the Taliban, not the Afghan people, would be held responsible for harboring terrorists.

"The United States respects the people of Afghanistan and we are their largest provider of humanitarian support," he said. "But we condemn the Taliban, and welcome the support of other nations in isolating that regime."
