The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, OIC, will hold an international conference of Islamic scholars in Makkah and Madina during October 8-10 to promote peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan. This was informed by the OIC Secretary-General, Iyad Ameen Madani, during a meeting with Afghan Chief Executive Dr. Abdullah Abdullah and Foreign Minister Syed Salahuddin Rabbani in Kabul.
Taliban have rejected the conference as an intelligence ploy and urged Ulema to stay away from the gathering.
