Kabul – The National Resistance Front (NRF) has denied published reports that its leader, Ahmad Massoud, met with Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi.
“No talks are scheduled between Ahmad Massoud and the Taliban leadership,” said Sibghatullah Ahmadi, a spokesman for (NRF) to Hasht-e Subh.
Meanwhile, some local and foreign media outlets have reported that Ahmad Massoud and Ismail Khan, the former governor of Herat, are scheduled to meet with Amir Khan Muttaqi in Iran.
Amir Khan Muttaqi went to Tehran yesterday at the invitation of the Iranian Foreign Ministry to discuss political and economic issues, according to the Taliban Foreign Ministry.
However, other sources say the acting Taliban’s foreign minister went to Iran at the invitation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
According to reports, Muttaqi had previously offered reconciliation to Ahmad Massoud and Ismail Khan.
