KABUL (AP) - The Taliban's reclusive leader is calling on Afghans to continue what he calls their "legitimate jihad" or holy war.
Mullah Omar has issued a Muslim holiday message urging them to break off relations with an Afghan government that he refers to as "this stooge Kabul administration."
His message was posted on a Web site used by the Taliban and was e-mailed to journalists from an address often used to send out Omar's messages.
Omar said the people of Afghanistan would not agree to any negotiations that would prolong the presence of foreign forces in the country. He insists the insurgents have gained the upper hand and are winning the war.
The Taliban leader hasn't been seen in years. Afghan officials claim he's hiding in Pakistan.
