Afghan gov't: No breakthroughs in Taliban talks

The Afghan government has held "good discussions" with Taliban militants as it seeks a way to end an increasingly the bloody insurgency against Afghan, U.S. and NATO forces, the president's spokesman said Tuesday.

The spokesman for President Hamid Karzai said there have been "some developments" in the talks, giving the government hope they could lead toward peace. However, he cautioned there would not be a quick agreement.

"We have had some talks," Humayun Hamidzada told a news conference. "We shouldn't expect a quick outcome, but there has been some developments. There are some contacts at different levels."
