In northern Afghanistan, General Rashid Dostum met representatives of the Taliban in Mazar-e-Sharif, several hundred kilometres north of Kabul. Dostum, who has formed an alliance with the deposed government of President Burhanuddin Rabbani, has been trying to open negotiations with the Taliban Islamic army.
