Afghan Delegates Hash Out Peace Statement - AP

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Delegates reconvened Friday for the planned final day of a national peace conference, hashing out details of a communique likely to endorse negotiations with the Taliban to try to end Afghanistan's years of war.

The Taliban have dismissed the jirga as a ''phony reconciliation process'' stacked with Karzai's supporters, and suicide bombers launched an attack on the opening session Wednesday. It was thwarted. The Taliban insist there will be no negotiations until all foreign troops leave Afghanistan -- a condition that Karzai could not accept. - Afghan Delegates Hash Out Peace Statement
