Khalilzad had held a ninth round of talks with the Taliban in Qatar, which ended without a final agreement. He said over the weekend that the US and the insurgent group are “at the threshold of an agreement” – even as the Taliban attacked the capitals of Kunduz and Baghlan provinces in the north.
The Taliban spokesperson in Qatar, Suhail Shaheen, said that “we are on the verge of ending the invasion and reaching a peaceful solution for Afghanistan.”
