Afghanistan 'investigating' Taliban offer of talks
2007-09-12
The Afghan government is investigating a Taliban spokesman's statement that the militant group might be willing to hold negotiations with the government, the president's spokesman said Tuesday.

President Hamid Karzai repeated Sunday the government's stance that it is willing to hold talks with the hard-line fundamentalists. The next day, Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi said the militants would consider negotiations if a formal offer was made. "The Afghan government, especially the president himself, has announced several times that the reconciliation doors are open," said Karzai spokesman Humayun Hamidzada. "We heard the Taliban announcement through the media. We are investigating it."

Taliban fighters sincerely interested in talks to find a "solution for peace" would not be arrested if they came forward, Hamidzada said.

#5  I'm really, seriously disappointed in the quality of the posts by trolls like georg, shenon and such. Even given whatever problems they might have with the English language, their efforts are little more than gibberish. It might be interesting if they could find somebody who was literate enough to say something that was actually coherent. But I guess if they're dumb enough to believe in the Koran that's the best we can expect.

#1  OK, all you Taliban that have stepped forward please proceed in an orderly manner to that soccer field over there and wait for further instructions. You can take your guns with you if you wish.
