Omar was also quoted as saying he believed conflicts such as the decade-long Afghan war were resolved by “realisation and understanding,” while again urging the immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops from Afghanistan.
The United Nations says the number of civilians killed in the Afghanistan war in the first half of this year rose 15 percent to 1,462, with insurgents behind 80 percent.
.But any hopes for a negotiated settlement to the bloody war were seriously damaged by September’s murder of President Hamid Karzai’s peace envoy Burhanuddin Rabbani by a supposed Taliban peace envoy.
Karzai said at a regional conference this week in Istanbul that the peace process would not succeed unless top Taliban leaders joined it.
