Taliban supreme leader Mulla Mohammad Omar has said that his fighters would step up attacks on foreign forces in the coming months, which will surprise many, local newspaper Daily Times reported on Sunday.

"With the grace of Allah the fighting will be increased manifold and it would be much more organized. Our previous predictions about attacks were not incorrect," Daily Times quoted Mulla Omar in his Eid message.

"I am confident that the fighting will be a surprise for many. I advise the Mujahideen to maintain unity in their ranks as rift in their ranks affected jihad against the former Soviets," he said.

The local newspaper received the two-and-half page Pashtun message which is issued by a Taliban spokesman through email.

Omar said, "Our enemy has faced defeat despite his misleading programs and his move about so-called democracy has also failed. The aggressors released fake films to malign and weaken us...The enemy propaganda has achieved nothing and the nation is behind us. "

Dismissing the notion that Pakistan was supporting the Taliban, he said, "America used Pakistani airfields for attacks on Afghanistan...In my opinion, those who have a mind will not accept the notion of Pakistani support for Taliban.
