Taliban’s Wednesday attack at Bagram airbase has negatively affected the peace talks, sources said on Thursday, but peace talks are continuing “despite the tension.”

“Before the Taliban’s (Bagram airbase) attack, Americans launched airstrikes in Sangin (district of Helmand) and I wished neither had happened so the talks would continue normally” said Sayed Akbar Agha, a former Taliban commander, “but it didn’t have a big enough effect to stop them.”

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday condemned the “terrorist attack” near Bagram airbase “in the strongest possible terms,” and said that the US stands with the Afghan people to bring peace and stability.

“I want to condemn this more coordinated terrorist attack near Bagram Air Force Base in the strongest possible terms,” he said. “Attacks seriously damaged a hospital that was being rebuilt for the Afghan people.”

The acting defense and interior ministers on Thursday said that the enrollment of women in high-level positions within the two ministries has increased notably.
Currently, the number of women working within the Ministry of Defense and Ministry of Interior is nearly 6,000, said the security officials.
