Taliban suspect India in Rabbani murder
ISLAMABAD: Majority of the Taliban groups fighting foreign troops in Afghanistan have once again strongly opposed talks with the US as most of the insurgent leaders are of the opinion that if motives for the assassination of former Afghan president Burhanuddin Rabbani are carefully examined, it becomes clear that Rabbani has been killed only for being authorised to hold talks for establishment of peace.
This is the crux of the details of an informal but important meeting of different Taliban commanders in northern Afghanistan earlier this week.

Surprisingly, it has transpired now that the Taliban Movement or al-Qaeda was, however, not involved in the murder of Rabbani.
