Details interview with a Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...23-year-old fighter, who defected 10 days ago across the frontline north of Kabul to troops of the opposition Northern Alliance, said Taliban fighters believed Saudi-born fugitive Osama bin Laden was responsible for the attacks, and had vowed to stand and wait for U.S. strikes.
"After those attacks on the United States, the Taliban were so happy. They all said: 'You see, Osama has struck at America. If anybody comes here to attack us, we will defeat them'," he said, sitting in a room filled with alliance fighters. ...
Although he spoke at an opposition Northern Alliance base, within earshot of commanders who had helped him to escape, his account did not support the alliance position that morale in the Taliban trenches has begun crumbling.
"In the evening, when we were listening to the radio, we heard (about the strikes on) Voice of Shariat. And all my friends in the room, they became really happy, they were laughing when they heard it on the radio. They were saying, 'They fucked America!"' he said.
Some of the Taliban even expressed their joy by dancing steps of the Atan, a Pashtun traditional folk dance. The Taliban generally forbid dancing in public as un-Islamic. "
