Pakistani Delegation to Meet Taliban Leader FridayA Pakistani delegation of religious scholars and government officials is going to visit Kandahar on Friday, headquarters of the Taliban militia, according to a report by the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press (AIP).Quoting Taliban's chief representative in Islamabad Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, the report said the delegation is expected to meet the supreme leader of Taliban Mullah Omar and hold talks on the current critical situations with him. Pakistan is dispatching the delegation in, what officials say, a very last attempt to convince the Taliban regime to cooperate with the international community against terrorism. Pakistan sent a delegation last week led by the Chief of the Inter Service Intelligence, Lt. General Mahmood Ahmed to Afghanistan, in a bid to convince the Taliban to hand over Osama bin Laden, the most wanted man by the United States. |
