Default Afghan President Hamid Karzai 'plans talks with Taliban'

Here's hoping it may be the beginning of something tangible/positive.

Quote:
The landmark meeting will come in the coming weeks, before the establishment of a Taliban office in Qatar, according to Western and Afghan officials.
The Taliban have refused previously to recognise the government of President Hamid Karzai.
Senior officials in Kabul say the Taliban have agreed to the meeting.
The militant group, contacted by the BBC, refused to comment on the move.
The Taliban have so far insisted they would only talk to the US and other allies of the Kabul government.
