Hamid Karzai, the Afghanistan president, has said he will accept the opening of a Taliban office in Qatar for the purpose of holding peace talks. If the United States insists that the armed group establish a liaison office in Qatar, "we are agreed", Karzai said in a presidential statement on Tuesday. Earlier this month, Kabul recalled its ambassador to Qatar for consultations over reports that the Taliban was planning to open an office in the gulf country. As the 2014 deadline for the US led forces to pull out nears, there has been a growing need to engage the Islamists for a durable peace in the country. It has been identified that a proper address for Taliban will help facilitate the talks. The US and its NATO allies have been pursuing a war against the Taliban, but the armed group remains a force to be reckoned with, despite a decade of war. One complication to negotiations with the Taliban is that many Afghans still view them with suspicion and say they should answer for their past crimes. Al Jazeera's Jennifer Glasse reports From Kabul.

Since the beginning of the protest movement, Syria's government has insisted that one of the main reasons for its nationwide military crackdown on dissidents is to protect minority groups from "armed terrorists" within the country's majority Sunni Muslims. However, a seemingly increasing number of Christians and Alawites - members of the same sect as the family of President Bashar al-Assad - have joined the uprising and accuse the government of trying to sew sectarian strife to stay in power.

www.euronews.com Twenty-eight people, including 22 children, have been killed in a coach crash in a Swiss motorway tunnel. The coach was carrying a group of 55 tourists, mostly schoolchildren from Belgium, who were heading home after a skiing holiday in the resort of Val d'Anniviers. Twenty-four children were injured. Some are in a serious condition in hospital. Officials says the coach was travelling through a motorway tunnel in the Swiss canton of Valais, when it crashed head-on into the wall. Both of the drivers were killed. The coach was one of three travelling together, heading back to the villages of Lommel and Heverlee in the Flanders region of Belgium. The other two have returned home. Belgium's Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo is heading to Switzerland and two planes are being laid on to fly the relatives of the victims to the region. The crash was one of the worst in Switzerland since 1982 when 39 German tourists were killed on a railway crossing after a train hit their a bus.
