A Saudi initiative, supported by Britain, has been pursued in an attempt to bring peace to Afghanistan. For some months there has been a dialogue between the negotiator and the Taleban leadership. For the initiative to have any chance of success, it is will be necessary tp drive a wedge between the Taleban and Al Qaeda. "Although there have been low-level contacts with individual Taliban commanders at district level before, the Saudi initiative is the first attempt to talk to the Taliban leadership council based in or around the south-west Pakistan city of Quetta, known as the 'Quetta Shura'."
