US denies Taliban talks
The United States is not in direct talks with the Afghan Taliban, and any eventual discussions would have to go hand in hand with military success, US Special Representative Richard Holbrooke said on Sunday.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he dismissed media speculation since a Jan 28 Afghanistan conference in London that there had been secret contacts.
