Afghan president says last week's bombing killed over 150


Afghanistan's president said Tuesday that last week's suicide truck bombing in the heart of the capital killed more than 150 people, making it the deadliest single attack in the country since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion to topple the Taliban. He again invited the Taliban to peace talks, calling it their "last chance" to give up their 16-year insurgency and join the political process. "If Taliban wants to join peace talks, the Afghan government will allow them to open an office, but this is their last chance," Ghani said. Past attempts at peace talks have failed. Afghan security forces say they are still investigating, but that the explosives used appear to have originated in Pakistan.
