Negotiators: Progress Made But No Deal After Afghan Peace Talks
---------------------------------------------------------------

Two weeks of talks between U.S. and Taliban officials in Qatar ended
without an agreement Tuesday but with negotiators saying they've made
progress on two key issues. The U.S. said the two parties have reached a
draft plan for a future withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, as
well as a commitment from the Taliban to cut ties with al-Qaeda and
other terrorist groups. Talks are expected to resume later this month.
