Former vice president Mohammad Younus Qanooni, who was one of the participants of the 2001 Bonn Conference, said the Jamiat-e-Islami party of Afghanistan, to which he belongs, will not stay indifferent to the peace process as it supports efforts to end the conflict through a political solution.

Addressing an event on the 3 Hoot uprising, a week of major civil unrest in Kabul in February 1980, Qanooni said that Jamiat-e-Islami and the people have made the most sacrifices in the war, but they still support the peace talks with the Taliban despite a delay in the process.

At least two people were killed and five more were wounded in a roadside bomb blast in Kabul on Sunday afternoon, police said.

Police said the explosion targeted a security forces vehicle and that a woman and two children are among those wounded in the blast.
