| Afghan Taliban warn elders against endorsing US deal |
| 2013-11-12 |
| [Pak Daily Times] The Taliban on Monday warned an upcoming elders' assembly against endorsing a deal allowing US troops to stay in Afghanistan after 2014, saying they would be punished as "traitors" if they did so. Around 2,500 tribal elders and civil leaders are expected to take part in an assembly known as a "loya jirga" this month, to decide whether to accept the draft Bilateral Security Agreement between Afghanistan and the US. |
