China Daily | Updated: 2007-12-27 07:18

British spies organized secret meetings with senior Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan over the summer, a newspaper reported yesterday.

Officers from Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, better known as MI6, have engaged in peace talks with up to a dozen Taliban officials, according to The Daily Telegraph, which cited an unidentified intelligence source.

"The SIS officers were understood to have sought peace directly with the Taliban, with some of them coming across as some sort of armed militia," The Telegraph quoted the source as saying. "The British would provide mentoring for the Taliban."
