U.S. peace envoy Zalmay Khalilzad met with the Afghan Taliban in Pakistan on Friday for the first time since President Trump publicly called off talks last month aimed at ending the longest war in U.S. history. The informal talks in Islamabad came after the Taliban took credit for a series of deadly attacks that disrupted September’s presidential election, which saw less than a quarter of eligible voters cast ballots. The renewed peace talks don’t include members of the Kabul-based Afghan government.
