"KABUL, Afghanistan -- Pakistan is to give the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan three days to hand over suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden or face U.S. military action.
The ultimatum comes as Pakistan makes eleventh-hour diplomatic efforts to prevent a military strike in the region.
It follows a late-night telephone conversation between U.S. President George W. Bush and his Pakistan counterpart Gen. Pervez Musharraf.
A Pakistan emissary will be going to Afghanistan within the next 24 hours to push for a peaceful solution to the confrontation."
