Afghan peace plan: Taliban likely to be invited to OIC summit: "In an effort to find a negotiated settlement to the Afghan imbroglio, the Taliban leadership is likely to be invited as observers to an Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) summit meeting scheduled in March in Saudi Arabia.
Riyadh had taken the initiative after US President Barack Obama requested King Abdullah during his visit to Washington in June 2010 to play a role for reconciliation with the Taliban. The Obama administration supports Saudi mediation because both the US and Saudi Arabia see growing Iranian influence in Afghanistan with concern."
