All Taliban forces in the besieged northern Afghan city of Kunduz are reported to have agreed to surrender.
A CNN correspondent in the nearby city of Mazar-i-Sharif, which is under Northern Alliance control, said Taliban commanders from Kunduz had agreed to surrender in talks with Alliance leaders in Mazar.
He quoted a Kunduz Taliban commander, named as Mullah Faizal, as telling reporters allowed into the meeting room that all his forces, Afghans and foreigners alike, would surrender.
"Nothing will happen" (in Kunduz), CNN quoted Faizal as saying.
Alliance commander Abdul Rashid Dostum told reporters the Kunduz problem would be solved without a fight and that the fight for the city was finished, CNN said.
Dostum said he was also in contact with Taliban leaders in other parts of Afghanistan including Kandahar, the movement's southern stronghold.
CNN said the Mazar meeting was still going on in order to work out details of how the Kunduz surrender will take place.
