Text(TE+errata):1/1. ; {Tap}: Target opponent chooses any number of
creatures he or she controls. During that player's next turn, those
creatures attack if able, and other creatures can't attack. At the end of
that turn, destroy each of those creatures that didn't attack. Play this
ability only during your turn. [Oracle 1999/05/01]
The way the card works is that the target player chooses which creatures
will attack on their next turn. Creatures which are chosen to attack,
but do not attack, are destroyed at the end of that turn. Creatures
which are not chosen to be attackers are not affected in any way other
than being unable to attack. [D'Angelo 1997/12/17]

another spell and does not remove attacking creatures from an attack.
