Talibans to Restart Peace Talks in Pakistan

By Correspondent

A delegation from the Afghan Taliban’s political office in Qatar arrived in Pakistan on Tuesday to discuss starting fresh peace talks with Kabul, militant sources said. Their visit to Karachi came a day after Afghan President Ashraf Ghani threatened diplomatic reprisals against Pakistan if it refused to take action against Taliban leaders, after a brazen insurgent attack killed 64 people in Kabul. A senior Afghan Taliban source based in Pakistan told AFP the three-member team would soon begin initial contacts with Pakistani and Afghan officials. “The main purpose of the visit is to explore ways and means to bring peace in Afghanistan,” the source, who is based in northwest Pakistan, told AFP. “It is an initial stage and formal peace talks are yet to begin. They have arrived on Pakistan’s invitation,” he added. Two other Afghan Taliban sources confirmed the arrival of the negotiating team, though Pakistani and Afghan officials are yet to formally comment.
