KABUL (Reuters) - Fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Omar has rejected the latest conditional offer of peace talks by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, a rebel spokesman said on Saturday.

Instead, the one-eyed leader with a $10 million bounty on his head has repeated his threat to prosecute Karzai in an Islamic court for the "massacre" of Afghans.

"The infidels of the entire world have gathered in Afghanistan, occupied it and taken the Afghans hostage," spokesman Tayyab Agha said by satellite phone from a secret location.

"There can be no talks with the Afghan puppet government in the presence of foreign occupying forces.

Hey Bush, why is Mullah Omar still calling the shots around here? I can't believe US Forces couldn't find a blind man.

1. He escaped on a mororbike. I'd like to see Bush or Blair do that when the tar + feather crew arrive.

2. Kabul's an island that's about to submerg, isn't it?

9-11 was a fairy tale and this is the net outcome.
