The Timesreports that Mr Din has just returned from Kandahar and Helman provinces where he says he met several Taliban leaders. He is now based in Pakistan.
"We have some 300 suicide bombers ready to attack the American installations in Afghanistan," he said.
"They are confident of mobilising support among the Pashtuns, who they believe would not accept a foreign-propped government in Kabul.
"People are still with us and the Americans are being sucked into a war which they can never win."
