In an exclusive interview to BBC's Pashtu-language service, Taleban's supreme leader Mullah Mohammed Omar on Thursday rejected any cooperation with a future broad-based government in Afghanistan.
He said the southern city of Kandahar remained in the hands of Taleban fighters and also spoke of a "big" plan to destroy the United States.
Mullah Omar said the Taleban preferred death to participating in what he said would be an evil government.
About his plan to destroy America, he said: "The plan is going ahead and God willing it is being implemented, but it is a huge task beyond the will and comprehension of human beings. If God's help is with us, this will happen within a short period of time. Keep in mind this prediction."
Asked about the setbacks suffered by the Taleban, he said it was not important how many provinces in Afghanistan were now under his control. "Four to five provinces are still in our control," he said.
