Bin Laden to Be "Eradicated", British Prime Minister
British Prime Minister Tony Blair said on Sunday he had every confidence that Bin Laden's network would be "eradicated" in the fight against terror.
Speaking in a BBC Breakfast program, Blair warned the Taliban administration that if they did not give Bin laden, they might have been "disabled or removed".
Blair said he has seen "absolutely powerful, incontrovertible evidence" of Osama bin Laden's link to the September 11 terror attacks in the United States. However, he said, not all the evidence could be published.
He also called for more powers to stop terrorist suspects from spinning out of the legal process to delay extradition. "We cannot have a situation where people come in and abuse our asylum procedures and are then allowed to remain in this country," he said.
More than 6,000 people were killed or still missing in the U.S. attacks, including more than 200 Britons. Media speculation here is mounting that military strikes against Bin Laden are imminent.
