Taliban urges neighbors to act

Taliban leader Mullah Omar called on Afghanistan's neighbors to help his militants oust the government of President Hamid Karzai and force foreign troops out of the country.

A roadside bomb, meanwhile, struck a police vehicle in southern Afghanistan on Friday, leaving two officers dead and four others wounded, a police chief said.

Omar's message - the authenticity of which couldn't be immediately confirmed - said "neighbors should help Afghans drive Western forces from Afghanistan as they helped them during the Soviet Union invasion."
