Taliban peace talks 'will be long and complex'
One of Afghanistan’s most renowned anti-Taliban commanders predicted on Thursday that proposed peace talks would be a “long and complex process” and it was likely they would be snubbed by hard-liners and foreign fighters in the Islamic militia.
The comments by Gen Bismillah Khan – made during a visit by the most senior US military chief in the region – appeared to reflect a more cautious approach by some in the Afghan military towards a push by President Hamid Karzai to open talks with the Taliban.
