US peace envoy for Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, in reaction to an attack on Afghanistan’s First Vice President Amrullah Saleh, said that the peace "spoilers" are becoming desperate in their attempt to disrupt Afghan peace talks.

“As peace talks near, spoilers are becoming more desperate in their attempt to disrupt this historic opportunity. Today's attack on Amrullah Saleh's convoy is the latest example. Luckily, he survived. Tragically, this terrorist attack killed and wounded many bystanders.” Tweeted Khalilzad.

He said history has shown that when the opportunity for peace is close, spoilers will spare no effort to try and stop it.

“Afghans are not falling for their trap,” he said.
