BBC: Taliban co-founder Mullah Baradar heads for US talks in Qatar
One of the Taliban's founders is going to Qatar for Monday's talks with the US, Taliban sources have told the BBC, raising chances of a peace deal.
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar spent eight years in Pakistani custody until his release last year.
He is now in charge of the Taliban political office in Qatar but until now he has remained in Pakistan.
Last month's US-Taliban talks in Qatar made progress in ending 17 years of conflict in Afghanistan, the US said.
US special envoy Zalmay Khalilzad did not give details but said the unprecedented six days of talks were "more productive than they have been in the past".
The Taliban also said progress had been made in the negotiations.
However, a spokesman added that talks about "unsolved matters" would continue.
