Afghan warlords arrive at an agreement on Kandahar

Fears of inter-tribal armed conflict for control of the former Taliban stronghold of Kandahar have subsided with word of an agreement on the city's new leadership, CNN reported on Monday.

Gul Agha, a former governor of Kandahar province, will return to that position pending the approval of Afghanistan's new interim government, which assumes power on December 22.

Longtime mujahedeen leader Mullah Naqibullah, who accepted Taliban ruler Mullah Mohammed Omar's surrender on Friday, turned down Kandahar's top military position, sources said.

The tentative agreement "removed a major obstacle in Afghanistan," said the interim government's leader, Hamid Karzai.
