Western leaders have previously said that political stability in Afghanistan
after foreign troops are withdrawn is dependent on an agreement being struck
with the Taliban.
Speaking about the documents discovered in bin Laden’s Abbottabad compound,
the Washington-based source said: “Questions and issues come up. They don’t
see eye to eye on everything but it’s clear they understand they have an
interest in co-operating [on attacks against Nato, Afghan government and
Pakistani targets].”
The source added: “Of those engaged in the conversation, two [Zawahiri and
Omar] are still alive today and there is no reason to believe that either
has substantially changed his views in the last year.”
