US has made no decision on Taliban prisoner transfer

KABUL - The United States has not decided whether or not to satisfy a request from the Taliban to release five prisoners being held at Guantanamo Bay, the US special envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan said on Sunday.
"We haven@@@t made any decisions... We have to meet the requirements of our law," Marc Grossman told reporters on a visit to Kabul, after two days of talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and senior advisors.
The Taliban this month announced that they would open a political office in Qatar as a prelude to holding peace talks with the United States and its allies.
