Afghanistan's president has called on Pakistan to battle the Taliban rather than try to bring them into peace talks, ABC News reported.

Ashraf Ghani made the remarks during an address to parliament on Monday, a week after a Taliban assault on the Afghan capital, Kabul, killed 64 people and wounded another 340.

Afghanistan, Pakistan, China and the United States have been trying to revive peace talks between Kabul and the Taliban in recent months, but have made little progress.
