| Despite US President Barack Obama’s admittance that Washington was open to dialogues with the moderate elements of the Taliban, fficials have said that the US is planning a dramatic intensification of the Predator drone attacks on the Taliban in the tribal areas of Pakistan.
"There will be talks but the Taliban are going to experience a lot of pain first, on both sides of the border," a top US diplomat said.
Earlier, Obama had accepted that the US led ‘War on terror’ in Afghanistan and Pakistan may never see success, as the situation has gone out of control from the Pak government’s hand.
"As long as you have got safe havens in these border regions that the Pakistani Government can't control or reach in effective ways, we're going to continue to see vulnerability on the Afghan side of the border,” 'The Telegraph' quoted Obama, as saying.
The US special envoy to Pakistan and Afghanistan, Richard Holbrooke has appointed Afghan policy expert, Barnett Rubin to co-ordinate an approach route for talks with the Taliban.
