Afghan Taliban brand London talks 'a waste of time'

KABUL: The Taliban on Wednesday dismissed a London conference on Afghanistan's future as "a waste of time" and repeated their demand that all foreign troops leave the war-torn country.

"There have been similar conferences in the past, none of which have solved the problems of Afghanistan. The London conference will be just the same," the insurgent group said in a statement emailed to journalists.

"The London conference is in fact aimed at extending the invasion of Afghanistan by occupying forces. (It) is just a waste of time," the statement attributed to the Taliban Leadership Council said.

The militia said that "the only solution to the Afghanistan problem is the withdrawal of all invading forces from Afghanistan immediately."
