Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai has tried to wrest back control of peace talks with the Taliban by asking the United States to hand over control of a detention facility at Bagram within a month.
In a bid to take control of as many Taleban prisoners as possible, Hamid Karzai also said he wanted all Afghan citizens held by coalition troops passed into Afghan hands.
The US said this week it was prepared to release senior Taleban members held at Guantanamo Bay as part of the peace process.
