Taleban to surrender in Kunduz: Report

The Taleban had agreed to surrender in the northern Afghan town of Kunduz, CNN reported on Thursday

The militia and the Northern Alliance on Thursday reached an agreement to stop fighting.

On Thursday morning a deal was reportedly struck between Alliance commander General Abdul Rashid Dostum and Mullah Mohammed Fazil, the main leader of the besieged Taleban forces in Kunduz.

However, Al-Jazeera satellite television channel reported that the militia had denied that its fighters in Kunduz had agreed to surrender.

"The office of Mullah Mohammed Omar strongly denied that and the Taleban army chief Akhdar Othmani said the information was totally false," correspondent Mohammad al-Shuli reported from the southeastern city of Spin Boldak.

"The fighters' situation in Kunduz is good and they have good morale," the channel quoted the Taleban officials as saying.
