Afghan leader to outline peace plan

Afghan President Hamid Karzai says a London conference on Afghanistan this week offers a major opportunity for his government to present its plans for reconciliation.
Karzai spoke in Turkey on Tuesday after a meeting of nations that seek to help Afghanistan emerge from instability with aid, trade, training and political support. Delegates included Foreign Secretary David Miliband of Britain, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari.

The London meeting on Thursday is expected to focus on Afghanistan's efforts to persuade Taliban militants who are not part of al-Qaida or other terrorist groups to give up their fight.

Miliband says the international community must mobilize more resources to help Afghanistan.
