Kabul : Refuting reports about secret talks with the Afghan government, Taliban leadership on Tuesday said it was a planned propaganda by some elements.
Taliban fugitive chief Mullah Mohammad Omar, in a statement e-mailed to local media outlets, said the Taliban never held negotiations with the Afghan government.
“We have not talks with the Afghan government,” said the statement released in the local Pashto language.
The Taliban leader said the group was not going to hold talks to stop the war against the United States.
He also refuted reporters that he had received a letter from the Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Two months back, the Afghan President admitted before media that some contacts had been made with the help of another country with the militants.
A former Taliban ambassador to Pakistan Abdul Salam Zaeef, who was kept at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility after the overthrow of Taliban, had also admitted that there were some kind of contacts between the government and the Taliban.
Meanwhile, the US-led coalition troops said they had killed six militants during an operation in Kabul province, which is also the central capital of Afghanistan.
A statement here said the operation was conducted in Sarobi district of Kabul on Monday.
Three more suspected militants were detained, it added.
Two more Taliban were killed in Shindand district of the country’s western province of Herat while another militant was killed in Nahre Surkh district of the southern Helmand province, the international troops said.
