'When Osama Bin Laden became an issue for the Americans, he was in Afghanistan,' said Zabihullah Mujahid in an interview aired on NBC Nightly News Wednesday in which he promised the country will no longer be a safe haven for terrorists.
'Although there was no proof he was involved, now we have given promises that Afghan soil won't be used against anyone.'
