A U.S. Envoy Will Warn The Taliban Not To Bet On An Afghan Takeover

Taliban fighters stand guard at a checkpoint in Kunduz city, northern Afghanistan, on Monday. The militants have ramped up their push across much of Afghanistan in recent weeks, turning their guns on provincial capitals after taking district after district and large swaths of land in the mostly rural countryside.

Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. envoy, was in Qatar, where the Taliban maintain a political office, to "help formulate a joint international response to the rapidly deteriorating situation in Afghanistan."
