NATO FORCES were targeted yesterday by a Taliban suicide bomb attack that wounded three bystanders in the Afghan capital Kabul.

Kabul police chief General Abdul Rahman Rahimi said the explosion had been intended to hit two armoured vehicles belonging to foreign forces attached to Nato’s Resolute Support mission.

On Saturday, Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s office said that he had ordered an investigation into how the Taliban had captured the major northern city of Kunduz last month.

The five-man delegation will also look into the US bombing of the Doctors Without Borders (MSF) hospital near the city, in which at least 22 people lost their lives.

Meanwhile, Pakistani President Nawaz Sharif said that his government was trying to revive stalled peace talks between representatives of the Afghan government and the Taliban.

Pakistan hosted meetings between the two sides in July.

However, a second round of negotiations was postponed after Kabul revealed that Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar had been dead for two years.
