In a statement released on Tuesday, Taliban front man Mohammad Naeem said the head of the Taliban’s political office, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, and the new head of the Taliban’s negotiating team, Abdul Hakim Haqqani, had met with Khalilzad and Qatar’s deputy prime minister in Doha on Monday.

"Issues related to the prisoners’ release and immediate start of the intra-Afghan talks were discussed," Naeem said.

Talks with American officials had for the last two years been led by Baradar, a co-founder of the Taliban, who signed a deal with Washington earlier this year.

But a new, 21-member team would be headed by Haqqani, a senior Death Eater leader and the Taliban’s former shadow "chief justice." The Taliban said that the team had been changed to give it power to take decisions on the spot.

The Afghan government last week released the remaining Taliban prisoners under the deal between the US and the Taliban. The Afghan government had been hesitant because some of the captured turbans had been involved in serious crimes. The US was pressuring Kabul to release the Death Eaters.
