Karzai for jirga to crush Taleban

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said he wants to hold a jirga (council) of Pashtun tribes from Pakistan and Afghanistan to end Taleban violence. Pakistan has long stated that it wants Afghanistan to recognise the Durand Line, the 2,640km (1610 miles)-long border between the two countries. Afghans say the British-drawn, colonial era border line robs Afghanistan of Pashtun territory now inside Pakistan.
