The seventh round of U.S.-Taliban talks is on pause until Tuesday after"the most productive session to date," according to the chief U.S. negotiator, Zalmay Khalilzad.
Around 60 Afghans will participate in the dialogue, organized by Qatar and Germany, with the Taliban sending a 17-member delegation. Khalilzad called it a"critical milestone," while Secretary of State Mike Pompeo heralded it as"a long time coming" and something"all Americans should be glad to see" in a tweet Sunday.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing in Ghazni, saying they were targeting an Afghan intelligence service compound. But many of the wounded were students from a nearby high school, the provincial health dept chief told The Associated Press. Getting reports of a horrific attack in Ghazni in which schoolchildren were again victims. It is unfathomable to endanger children in this way. I strongly condemn this attack. Peace has never been more urgent and is the only path to ending terror and violence.
