Some Taliban LeadersFrom the Washington Post:
JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 21 -- Saudi Arabia hosted a session between Afghan officials and the Taliban last month at the request of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal said Tuesday.
The officials met in the city of Mecca and attended an iftar, the evening meal that ends the fast between sunrise and sunset during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, according to several people who attended the session.
Saud said Saudi Arabia hosted the meeting because it is "interested in security and peace in Afghanistan."
"But the matter rests with the Afghans themselves," he said. "If we felt from the Afghans that there is a desire to solve problems . . . there will be [mediation] attempts. But if we don't see any response, then it will be difficult to find a way to get involved in the matter."
