Jamie McIntyre, Washington Examiner: Attacks in Syria and Afghanistan show neither war is close to over

TALIBAN ATTACKS, TALKS: Just hours before the Taliban announced a resumption of peace talks with the U.S., the group attacked an Afghan intelligence base. Yesterday’s attack killed at least 45 people and wounded as many as 70, most of them military personnel, according to provincial officials, quoted by the AP.

A suicide bomber committed the brazen assault by driving an explosives-laden Humvee into the intelligence base’s main building, causing the complex to collapse. That assault apparently resulted in the heavy casualties, making it one of the deadliest attacks against the home country’s intelligence service of the 17-year-plus war.

The Taliban promptly claimed responsibility. Then, in a separate statement, said they had met again yesterday with U.S. representatives in Qatar, to discuss “ending the invasion of Afghanistan.”

The AP reported, “The Taliban, who now hold sway in almost half of Afghanistan, carry out attacks on a daily basis, mainly targeting the country’s beleaguered security forces.”
