KABUL: The Taliban's leaders will decide soon about joining talks with the Afghan government, a spokesman said on Friday, after President Hamid Karzai invited them to a peace council as part of efforts to end years of fighting.

"I cannot say a word regarding these peace talks. The Taliban leadership will soon decide whether to take part in these peace talks," Taliban spokesman Qari Mohammad Yousuf said.
