I whakakahoretia e te Taliban nga tono tukunga a te US, i kii he rereke te kii kua "ngaro" a bin Laden, kaore ranei a Washington e "whakaatu i tetahi taunakitanga, i tetahi taunakitanga ranei" kei te uru a bin Laden ki nga mahi whakamataku, me te mea "kaore he taunakitanga, he tangata hara a bin Laden... he tangata noa ia".
