Armed with evidence from Washington Lieutenant-General Mehmud Pakistan intelligence chief is in the southern Afghan town of Kandahar since yesterday he has met with senior Taliban officials. Lieutenant-General Mehmud is reportedly accompanied by Islamic scholars to bolster efforts to persuade the Taliban that surrendering bin Laden would not transgress religious principles. A former Pakistan foreign secretary, Mr Niaz Naik, said he feared the mission to Kandahar would fail. "I don't think we will succeed because we are dealing with people who live in prehistoric times, who are very committed to their views and don't see modern logic or reason," he said.
