"Kabir Mohabbat’s final trip to Afghanistan on the US government payroll took place on September 3, 2001.
"On September 11 Mohabbat acted as translator for some of the Taliban leadership in Kabul as they watched tv coverage of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
"Four days later the US State Department asked Mohabbat to set up a meeting with the Taliban.
"Mohabbat says the Taliban were flown to Quetta in two C-130s.
"There they agreed to the three demands sought by the US team: 1. Immediate handover of bin Laden; 2. Extradition of foreigners in Al Qaeda who were wanted in their home countries; 3. shut-down of bin Laden’s bases and training camps.
"Mohabbat says the Taliban agreed to all three demands.
"This meeting in Quetta was reported in carefully vague terms by Pizzey on September 25, where Mohabbat was mentioned by name.
"He tells us that the Bush administration was far more exercised by this story than by any other event in the whole delayed and ultimately abandoned schedule of killing Osama."
