Former British commanderGeneral Lamb to head programme of reconciliation with Taliban - Naveed Yaseen - 08-22-2009 06:05 AM
LAHORE: A former British Special Forces commander has been appointed to mastermind a programme of reconciliation with members of the Taliban, General David Petraeus, the US military chief, said on Thursday. Lieutenant-General Sir Graeme Lamb, who retired recently from the British Army, was personally requested by General Stanley McChrystal, the US and NATO commander in Afghanistan, to take on the role. General Lamb would work at “local-level reconciliation and reintegration”, General Petraeus said at a briefing at the US embassy in London. Lamb has played a similar role in Baghdad, persuading Sunni insurgent leaders to give up fighting. daily times monitor
