Karzai is a strong proponent of such negotiations and is known to have been making peace overtures to members of the Taliban. The White House is neither confirming or denying the talks and the state department says the U.S. has "consistently supported an Afghan-led" peace process.

The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack and the violence underscores the challenges facing any possible negotiated settlement.
