A Taliban representative in the United States said that his government would bring exiled Saudi billionaire Osama Bin Laden to trial if evidence tied him to the attack on destroyer USS Cole. “If the US government or any other government provided us evidence, we are willing to take him to trial, according to their desire and their demands,” said Abdul Hakim Mujahid, making a rare public speech at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. “We have a just system,” he said, adding that in Afghanistan, No one is above the law. He said, however, that he does not believe any evidence exists to tie Bin Laden – the United States' most-wanted terrorist suspect - to the attack on the US ship. The October 12 attack on the Cole in Yemen killed 17 US Sailors and wounded 39 others. Officials believe that two suicide bombers maneuvered a small boat next to the Cole and detonated it. The Taliban - Islamic fundamentalists who control about 9 percent of Afghanistan - permit Bin Laden to live in the country.<>br> Mujahid said that the Taliban is protecting Bin Laden because he would not be safe elsewhere. American officials believe that Bin Laden was behind two deadly bomb attacks on US embassies in Africa in 1998. He has not been named as a suspect in the attack on the Cole. Bureau Report
