He spoke to all of us, as if he was saying goodbye. "He said he wouldn't be able to call before the end of the month of Dhu Al-Hijja, because he was going into Afghanistan, where the American forces were trying to take over several regions, which had been liberated by the Afghan and the Arab mujahideen."

That's only for starters." Interviewer: "You talked about Turkey before..." Wiam Wahhab: "Missiles will definitely fall on Turkey if it participates...
