Spoilers trying to disrupt and delay the peace process, says Khalilzad

In response to the killing of five staffs of the Afghan Attorney General’s Office (AGO), Zalmay Khalilzad, the US special peace envoy said that “spoilers (both domestic and foreign) are trying to disrupt and delay” the peace process.

According to the Khalilzad, the lawyers who were shot dead by unknown men on Monday, June 22, in Dehsabz district of Kabul province, were working to facilitate prisoner releases. “We call for a full investigation to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice,” he asserted, asking the Afghan government and the Taliban to push forward to take the steps necessary to reach intra-Afghan negotiations.
