Taliban militants will not take part in intra-Afghan talks until about 5,000 of their prisoners are released, a spokesperson said on Monday, presenting a major possible barrier to ending the war. The statement came as a reduction of violence period came to and end, and the Taliban said a resumption of operations against Afghan government forces could now take place.
