Some Afghan groups carry on talks in Islamabad

Hekmatyar urges Pakistan to mediate all party summit
ISLAMABAD, Feb 12: Talks aimed at finding a way to end Afghanistan's bloody civil war carried on here today but chances of an agreement looked slim in the absence of two important armed groups, diplomats and sources close to the talks said, reports AFP.
Expressing scepticism about the Pakistani-backed meetings. Western diplomats said the whole exercise could become a "joke" if the powerful Taliban militia did not Join and embattled Afghan President Burhanuddln Rabbani remained unrepresented.
Meanwhile. Afghan faction leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who met with several other faction leaders here Sunday, suggested that Pakistan invite all Afghan leaders including President Rabbani for a full peace conference.
Blaming the Rabbani government for the fact that fighting is still going on in
Afghanistan, he called for the formation of an interim administration to take control tn Kabul from Rabbani and to hold elections for a future government.
The Kabul government was very weak", he added.
Sources close to the talks said the student-led Tailban militia, besieging Kabul for the past four months, was reluctant to ally itself with other faction chiefs.
Press reports here have said Taliban representatives are in Islamabad but no formal dialogue has yet started between them and other armed groups.
Hekmatyar arrived here over the weekend amid renewed diplomatic activity to resolve the Afghan conflict. He has already held detailed discussions with Uzbek mill tia chief General Abdul Rashid Dostam and several other leaders.
Earlier AP says. Afghanistan's a former Prime Minister Gulbuddin Hekmatyar on Sunday called on net ghbouring Pakistan to mediate a summit of warring Afghan leaders, including his archenemy President Burhanuddln Rabbani.
Speaking on state-run Pakistan Television. Hekmat yar said only Pakistan could help bring all the sides in the Afghan conflict together.
"Pakistan, being a neighbouring Muslim country should invite all Afghan leaders including Rabbani and ask them io sit together and hold a sincere dialogue. Hekmatyar said.
The former prime minister is in Pakistan to meet with other rebel leaders who hope to topple Rabbani s government.
Hekmatyar's Hezb-e Islam! faction in 1994 teamed up with Uzbek warlord Rashid
Dostum in northern Afghanistan in a coordinated attack on Rabbani in the capital Kabul
Despite launching thou sands of rockets and mortar rounds on Kabul, the assault failed.
A spokesman for the Hezb-e-Islami said his group hoped to revive the united opposition against Rabbani but urged the president to step down peacefully.
The United Nations has also called for Rabbani s resignation to clear the way for an Interim ruling council with representatives from all warring factions.
Although Hekmatyar is still a key figure in the Afghan conflict, his forces took heavy casualties in 1994. when a third faction, the student-led Taliban militia, drove the Hezb e-jsiami from their (MMitions sbuth of Kabul.
