Recent reports from Afghanistan claimed the Taliban are willing to negotiate with the Afghan government and NATO forces. A report in Iran’s Press TV said Mullah Omar offered a seven point plan to end the insurgency, which was sent to Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah. The plan, according to the news outlet, called for a phased withdrawal of NATO forces, power-sharing with the Afghan government, integration of Taliban forces into the Afghan Army, and immunity for Taliban fighters. While this all looks good on paper, Mullah Omar, the leader of the Taliban has flatly rejected reports that negotiations are underway.
