Pompeo says Taliban 'overreached' in attack that killed American | CBC News

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo says the Taliban "overreached" with a car bomb attack in a diplomatic area near the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, killing an American soldier and leading the U.S. president to pull back from planned Afghanistan peace talks at Camp David.

Pompeo said it was now up to the Taliban to "change their behaviour." America's top diplomat isn't saying whether or when peace talks would resume.

He said he hopes the insurgents "will recommit to the things that we've been talking to them about for months."

“Pompeo acknowledged that the attack was not the first during the period in which peace talks have been held. He also said the U.S. has been attacking the Taliban throughout this period.”
