The insurgents also claimed
responsibility for another attack on a
police station, in the capital of Logar
province. The US, meanwhile, confirmed strikes

casualties". Comparing the situation to Colombia -
where a 50-year civil war led to a
peace treaty - General Nicholson said
violence and progress could coexist. He would not identify the figures
involved in the negotiations, except to
say that they included mid- and
senior-level Taliban officials. In the February offer of talks, Mr
Ghani said the Taliban could be
recognised as a political party if they
accepted a ceasefire and recognised
the country's constitution.BBC
