...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
group on 29th of February, provided that the group uphold their commitments regarding a seven-day reduction in violence.

An American official, privy of the development has told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that the U.S. and Taliban have agreed to a temporary truce which would likely open the way for a deal for the withdrawal of the American forces.

The official further added that the agreement for a seven-day "reduction in violence" is "very specific" and covers the entire country, including Afghan government forces.

The Taliban had committed to a halt in roadside and suicide kabooms as well as rocket attacks, the official said, adding that If the Taliban uphold their commitments, a U.S.-Taliban peace agreement would be signed within 10 days.

Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, the gondola was dangling by a single thread of rope.

Jack! Cynthia cried. I just realized I'm afraid of heights! I don't even like high heels!...

a Taliban official has said the signing had been tentatively set for Feb. 29, with the start of the Afghan talks planned for March 10.

The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, further added that Germany and Norway have offered to host the talks but there has been no decision on the venue.

That Taliban official also added that the agreement would provide for the release of 5,000 Taliban prisoners before the start of the negotiations.
Possibly that was actually agreed to. But possibly the Taliban are just adding things in the hope that the unbelievers are suckers,
