Karzai in talks with Taliban allies

Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, has been talking peace with former allies of the Taliban.

It is his first confirmed direct contact in Kabul with the Hezb-e-Islami, one of three main groups fighting the government.

The fighters have handed him a 15-point peace plan, which includes demands for the withdrawal of international troops.
