There are at least a hundred victims according to local media in the attack on September 2 against a fortified complex where live foreigners in Kabul. The attack was claimed by the Taliban and perpetrated two hours after the announcement of a draft peace agreement between the Americans and the Taliban. In Doha, the two sides reached a draft agreement to exit the conflict in Afghanistan after the 9th round of negotiations in Qatar. The text has not been made public. The US president must first validate it, said the US envoy who unveiled the broad lines on the set of a private television channel in Kabul Monday night.

More than 5,000 soldiers will leave 5 military bases in Afghanistan 135 days after the signing of a peace agreement. This is the first point of this framework agreement that emerges 10 months after talks between Taliban and Americans began in Doha, Qatar. In return, the Taliban pledge to fight terrorism on their territory.
This is an agreement in principle, because President Donald Trump must validate it, warned Zalmay Khalilzad. The US special envoy claimed that the Afghan authorities were aware of the text of the agreement. They made no comment.
Inter-Afghan negotiations should follow the signing of the agreement between the Americans and Taliban, the US envoy said. President Ashraf Ghani's spokesperson reacted in an interview with our colleagues at the BBC. It's very difficult to trust the Taliban, Sediq Sediqqi said.
A few hours later, these remarks find some resonance after the explosion of a tanker loaded with fuel on which was placed a bomb. A fortified complex or resident aliens is the target. The Taliban claim this attack indicating via their twitter account "to have attacked the invaders and their mercenaries ".
