Afghanistan says strikes Taliban truce in remote area

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan has struck its first ceasefire with the Taliban in a remote province before a presidential election next month, the government said on Monday, but the truce lasted only hours before clashes broke out.

With the election to be held against a backdrop of increasing violence, the government's announcement of a deal came just before Britain urged Kabul to offer a way out for the "foot soldiers" of the insurgency and bring peace to Afghanistan.
