ISLAMABAD: Afghanistan's Taliban movement on Monday challenged the United States to prove by November 20 that Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden was a terrorist. The Taliban's supreme court told the Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) news agency that if no proof was submitted by the deadline, he would be deemed innocent of all charges ofterrorism. ``We will wait until November 20. If anyone has any proof he is involved in terrorism, it should be submitted by then.'' The supreme court statement said that if no proof of his alleged involvement in terrorism was received by November 20, ``on this basis we will say he is clear.''
