NATO Links Bin Laden to 9 11 Attacks, Invokes Article 5
NATO says evidence clearly ties Osama bin Laden and al Qaida to the September 11 attacks. Secretary-General Lord Robertson announced Article 5 is fully invoked and allies must aid the United States in the global anti terror campaign. He noted the briefing remains secret for security reasons and highlighted Taliban ties. Putin met EU leaders, backing the coalition as Blair warned the Taliban to surrender.
