KABUL: Afghanistan signed a draft agreement with the Hezb-i-Islami militant group on Wednesday in a move the government hopes could lead to a full peace accord with one of the most important warlords in the insurgency.
Hezb-i-Islami leader Gulbadin Hekmatyar is a veteran of decades of Afghan war and briefly served as prime minister in the 1990s.
