Official: US, Taliban close to deal amid intensifying fighting

Tehran (KNA) - Negotiators from the US and the Taliban are “at the threshold of an agreement” which would reduce fighting and allow the continuation of full peace talks among Afghans, says a top US official.

Senior US diplomat and native Afghan Zalmay Khalilzad made the remarks on Twitter Saturday hours after the Taliban launched a massive offensive against Afghanistan's strategic city of Kunduz.

He also said the two sides had concluded their latest round of talks in Doha, Qatar.
