Taliban to Open Qatar Office in Step Toward Peace Talks - NYTimes.com: "The step was a reversal of the Taliban’s longstanding public denials that it was involved or even willing to consider talks related to its insurgency, and it had the potential to revive a reconciliation effort that stalled in September, with the assassination of the head of Afghanistan’s High Peace Council. It was unclear, however, whether the Taliban was interested in working toward a comprehensive peace settlement or mainly in ensuring that NATO ends its operations in Afghanistan as scheduled in 2014, which would remove a major obstacle to the Taliban’s return to power in all or part of the country."
