Karzai, back from a trip to Britain and the United States, said on Sunday he would guarantee the safety of Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar if he was prepared to negotiate. With the Taliban insurgency intensifying seven years after the hardline Islamists were forced from power, the possibility of talks with more moderate Taliban leaders is increasingly being considered, both in Afghanistan and among its allies. The Taliban have ruled out any talks in the past as long as foreign troops remain in Afghanistan, but Karzai said on Sunday that condition was unacceptable. A Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, declined to comment on Karzai's comments but said a Taliban reaction would be issued. "We are preparing a reaction and will put it in a statement later today," Mujahid said by telephone from an undisclosed location. Violence in Afghanistan has surged over the past two years, raising doubts about prospects for the country and its Western-backed government. About 70,000 foreign troops, about half of them American, are struggling against the Taliban, whose influence, and attacks, are spreading in the south, east and west. The prospect of a bloody, drawn-out stalemate has focused attention on the possibility of talks. Negotiations with insurgents in Iraq are seen as having contributed to an improvement in security there. U.S. President-elect Barack Obama has also suggested he was open to talks with more moderate Taliban leaders to explore whether the Iraq strategy would work in Afghanistan. A tentative first step toward talks was taken in September when a group of pro-government Afghan officials and former Taliban officials met in Saudi Arabia for discussions on how to end the conflict. But the Taliban derided those talks and repeated their demand that foreign troops get out. (Reporting by Sayed Salahuddin; Editing by Robert Birsel and David Fox) © Thomson Reuters 2008.
