Taleban coming in from the cold

Yet several Taleban figures the BBC spoke to in Khost said support for continuing the battle against the Americans is waning.

One dismissed the idea put about by some militant leaders that this is a "jihad" or holy war, like the struggle against the Soviet invasion.

"It is like the difference between sky and land," he said. "What the Americans are doing here is completely different to the Russians."

Another said: "The Taleban are still organised, but they cannot overthrow the government or cause any serious trouble."

"But the majority of the Taleban are tired, if there are proper talks with the government most will give up their weapons."
