Mullah Omar would not be eligible for an amnesty

KABUL, Afghanistan -- Reuters
Afghanistan's new government ordered armed men off the streets and soldiers back to barracks yesterday in the battered capital, Kabul, while US special forces roamed the provinces in pursuit of the world's two most wanted men.

Confusion hovered over the fate of three ministers from the vanquished Taliban militia -- possibly rich sources of clues to the whereabouts of their leaders -- who were reported to have surrendered and then allowed to go free, but under surveillance.

More al-Qaeda and Taliban prisoners filled US detention camps in Afghanistan while US jets prowled the skies to bomb possible hideouts of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar and Osama bin Laden -- the Saudi-born militant accused of orchestrating the Sept. 11 attacks on the US.
