Taliban suspends all political activities: Zaeef

The Taliban militia has suspended all political activities and stopped collecting donations, former Taliban ambassador to Pakistan Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef said on Friday.

"We have decided to suspend all political activities and organisational matters as well as stopping collection of donations for indefinite period," Zaeef said.

He appealed to all the sympathisers not to extend any donations in the name of Taliban to any person inside and outside Pakistan.

Mullah Mohammed Omar along with some of his young colleagues launched Taliban Islamic Movement from southern Kandahar in 1994.

In a short period of two-and-half-years Taliban took control of more than 90 per cent of Afghan territory, including capital Kabul, with the help of the Pakistan and confined their rivals to the mountains.

But the movement crumbled after the American-led coalition launched attacks on Afghanistan.
