David Cameron appeals to Taliban to cease fighting in Afghanistan

Prime Minister expressed his sadness at the last British victim in Afghanistan, saying it shows the "high price" attention to stabilizing the country

capture and murder of a British soldier apparently in Afghanistan showed the "high price" attention to stabilizing the country, David Cameron said Tuesday as he urged the Taliban to stop fighting.

Speaking at a press conference in Kabul with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Cameron said: "It was a very sad news and I want the thoughts and condolences to everyone on my team to be with the family of the soldier who received the very sad news. "

Karzai said. "I want to express my condolences for the recent loss of a British soldier"

The Prime Minister insisted that the campaign against the Taliban in Helmand province had "success" and control the transition to Afghan security was "on track".

Cameron presented his most direct appeal yet to elements of the Taliban to join the political process in Afghanistan. "It is difficult to reconcile with the people who killed their own soldiers or their own countrymen," he said. "For the Taliban, the message is clear: stop killing, stop the bombing, stop the fighting, lay down their arms, join the political process and you can be the future of this country

"I saw in my own country, in Northern Ireland, where people who participated in the attempted killing of civilians and bombing and maul police, soldiers and even politicians have become politicians and to participate in the government of that country.

"It can happen, and the message to the Taliban:. You can not win this fight, losing this fight, "

Cameron said the soldier's death on Monday was "a reminder of the high price we paid the vital work we do in Afghanistan and in Helmand province."

The body of the soldier, the Highlanders, 4th Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland, was found Monday night after a massive search. His family was informed.

Taliban groups have claimed responsibility for killing the man who was reported missing from a military checkpoint in the early hours of the morning.


says he will announce in the Commons on Wednesday a "modest reduction" in British troops in 2012, the top of the 450 he would retire this year.

defended the deadline of 2014 for the British forces end their combat role. "I think it's the right time," he said. "I worked very closely with the army to get this right. Many things must be right to ensure that the transition can be made correctly. But I think we are on track. You can do it. "
