Afghan President Hamid Karzai on December 19, 2007, asked God to forgive Afghan Taliban killed in the fighting in their homeland, but called on international forces to hit the insurgents at bases outside the country. Taliban insurgents are fighting a guerrilla campaign backed by suicide bomb attacks across the country to fight a war without end. Karzai has repeatedly called on Afghan Taliban to make peace with the government and has offered talks with the insurgents to try to bring an end to the conflict.
