Afghan officials: Bomb kills 3 in Kabul amid peace talks A roadside bomb has exploded in Afghanistan’s capital, killing at least three people in a vehicle in the latest attack to take place during peace talks with the TalibanKABUL, Afghanistan -- A roadside bomb exploded in Afghanistan's capital Sunday, killing at least three people in a vehicle. It was the latest attack to take place as government negotiators in Qatar resume peace talks with the Taliban. Sunday's attack comes as Afghan negotiators are to resume talks with the Taliban aimed at ending decades of relentless conflict. The stop-and-go talks between the Taliban and the government come amid growing doubt over a U.S.-Taliban peace deal brokered by outgoing President Donald Trump's administration. In 2019, airstrikes killed 700 civilians — more civilians than in any other year since the beginning of the war in 2001 and 2002.
