Taliban negotiators and US officials met in Qatar yesterday finalized clauses in a draft agreement to end the 17-year-old Afghan war, according to Taliban sources. US special peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad is reprotedly heading to Afghan capital Kabul to brief President Ashraf Ghani on the progress after the end of the longer-than expected six-day discussions.
