Taliban claims 'spectacular progress' in Afghan peace talks in Moscow
The Taliban has said peace talks in Moscow with other factions in Afghanistan have made "spectacular progress" on some issues. Russia has sought to play power broker in Afghanistan and is attempting to mediate between warring factions as it jockeys with Washington for influence in a country where a US-led coalition has been fighting for more than 17 years.
The latest negotiations, which wrapped up on Thursday, follow a previous round in February.
