Some Peace Negotiators Still to Return to Doha: Sources Sources in Qatar said that some members of the Taliban’s negotiating team, including their chief negotiator Shaikh Abdul Hakim Haqqani, have not traveled back to Doha from Pakistan to attend the second round of negotiations. Sources close to the Taliban said recent talk about a possible interim government, being discussed by US envoy Zalmay Khalilzad in Kabul, is why some Taliban delegates have not returned to Doha. Taliban spokesman Mohammad Naeem rejected the report that Abdul Hakim Haqqani has not gone to Qatar so far.
The negotiating team of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan has been in Qatar for the last five days.
