Afghan delegates to a peace conference in Kabul say they support President Hamid Karzai＇s plans for peace talks with the Taliban in an attempt to end nearly nine years of war.

The roughly 1,600 delegates endorsed President Karzai＇s reconciliation plan Friday, while wrapping up the three-day peace assembly, or jirga, in the Afghan capital.

Afghan elders and other delegates reconvened Friday after breaking into smaller working groups.  Among the recommendations was the formation of a commission to lead efforts to open talks with the Taliban.

During the jirga, delegates debated whether preconditions should be set before the government enters into negotiations with the insurgent group.  Some representatives want the U.S. to release Taliban prisoners being held in military detention centers, if they have not been charged.  Other delegates have called for the U.N. to remove Taliban leaders＇ names from a blacklist.

Afghan security forces on Wednesday killed two attempted suicide bombers during a Taliban attack on conference.  No one else was hurt.The Taliban was not invited to the jirga, and has said it will not engage in peace talks until all foreign troops leave Afghanistan. The Afghan government has demanded the Taliban lay down its weapons, renounce violence and accept the constitution.

Some information for this report was provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
