KABUL: President Hamid Karzai and US Secretary of State John Kerry held a second day of talks in Kabul Saturday after making progress over a long-delayed deal on the future of US forces in Afghanistan

Afghanistan's president Hamid Karzai (R) shakes hand with US Secretary of State John Kerry during a joint press conference at the presidential palace in Kabul on October 12, 2013. US Secretary of State John Kerry said a long-delayed deal on the future of US forces in Afghanistan could not be signed unless the issue of immunity for troops was solved. We need to say that if the issue of jurisdiction can not be resolved, unfortunately there can not be a bilateral security agreement, he said. AFP
