The US has asked the Taliban to put down arms and begin peace talks as it condemned the deadly suicide attack on a popular Kabul restaurant that killed 21 people, including an Indian-origin British politician among several foreign nationals.
"We call again on the Taliban to put down their arms and begin peace talks which is the surest way to end the conflict in a peaceful manner," White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement yesterday.
