Taliban chief could seek election, says Karzai

BERLIN: Afghan President Hamid Karzai has told a German newspaper that Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar could run for president in elections next year.

Follow up:

Karzai's government has agreed the Taliban can open an office in Qatar if the group breaks all ties with al-Qaida and renounces terrorism. Karzai was in Qatar Sunday to discuss the issue.

Karzai said in an interview published Tuesday by the German daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung that authorities have ``sporadic contacts'' with the Taliban. He said that the Afghan constitution is valid for all Afghans and ``the Taliban also should benefit from it.''




Asked whether Mullah Omar should seek the presidency, Karzai was quoted as saying: ``He can become a candidate for the presidency and give Afghans the opportunity to vote for or against him.''
