One recruit, Abdullah, 21, said he was "itching" to fight in Afghanistan, but the Taliban have requested troops stay in Pakistan until a full land war begins.

Two more Britons are believed dead after travelling to Afghanistan to fight for Osama bin Laden and the Taliban.

The men are said to have slipped across the border with two men from Luton already confirmed dead. It is thought they may have been killed in the same US rocket attack on Kabul.

Officials from the al Muhajiroun organisation in Pakistan say the men are believed to be from the Midlands and the North, possibly Birmingham or Bradford. They are said to have entered Afghanistan unarmed nine days ago in the expectation of being given guns by the Taliban.
