Dec. 13 (UPI) -- The U.S. envoy conducting a new round of negotiations with the Taliban has said the peace talks will take "a brief pause" following a deadly attack in Afghanistan blamed on the militant group.
Zalmay Khalilzad, U.S. special representative for Afghanistan reconciliation, said Thursday he was "outraged" at the Wednesday attack on a medical facility that was being built near the Bagram airfield, in which two civilians were killed and 80 others were hurt.
