Pompeo: Taliban ‘overreached’ in attack that killed American WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sunday that Taliban “overreached” with their car bomb attack in a diplomatic area near the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, killing an American soldier — and that led President Donald Trump to pull back from planned Afghanistan peace talks at Camp David. Pompeo said it was now up to the Taliban to “change their behavior.” 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.” In the end, Pompeo said, “this will be resolved through a series of conversations. I hope the Taliban will agree to meet with the Afghan government.” Continued on Page 2
