Karzai Convenes Peace Jirga, Reaches Out to the Taliban

Hosted by

Yesterday, as he opened his "peace jirga," Afghan President Hamid Karzai spoke to 1600 handpicked tribal leaders and politicians.  He addressed the Taliban directly, "Make peace with me and there will be no need for foreigners here."  Before Karzai finished speaking, a rocket exploded nearby, and security forces fought off two attempted suicide bombers.
