Fugitive 1 Taleban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar has vowed 2 stepped up violence against U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan. Coalition 3 forces say they are prepared.

The latest threat came Thursday, apparently 4 from former Taleban leader Mullah Omar. In a statement given to news agencies, Omar claimed that hundreds of young Afghans were signing up to become suicide bombers 5.
The statement says that a new wave of violence would be unleashed 6 at the beginning of summer, and would be directed at U.S.-led forces providing security in Afghanistan's fledgling democracy.
U.S. commanders say there is usually a spike 7 in militant 8 attacks during the warmer weather, as snow melts and mountain passes reopen.
Coalition spokesman Colonel James Yonts says counter-insurgency 9 operations will continue as planned.
"We expect these attacks, but we will not be deterred," he said. "We will stand strong, and we are committed in Afghanistan, with the Afghan government and the Afghan people."
The Afghan government is also downplaying the significance of the Taleban threat.
"The fact is that, at the end of each season, they say the same thing, that they increase their attacks on Afghan security forces," said Interior Ministry 10 spokesman, Yousuf Stanizai.
The Taleban insurgency has taken more than 1,500 lives in the past year. That is the highest death toll 11 since coalition forces ousted 12 the hard-line Islamic Taleban regime in 2001 for harboring al-Qaida terrorist leader Osama bin 13 Laden 14.
Suicide bombings have intensified 15, with at least 12 this year alone.
The Interior Ministry's Yousuf Stanizai says this tactic 16 is a sign of weakness, and that Taleban militants 17 no longer have the stomach for a head-on fight.
"As I say before, they don't have the power to fight the international coalition, or Afghan security forces," he said.
NATO security forces are being reinforced and expanded throughout the volatile 18 southern provinces where Taleban insurgents 19 are most active.
Some 18,000 U.S. troops are also leading independent missions specifically targeting al-Qaida and Taleban militants.
