The United States's Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan has issued a warning for women in and around the capital city to be on high alert as several extremist attacks against females were said to be imminent. "The embassy didn't provide specifics, including how imminent the threat is," however they did state the potential attacks would be against "teachers" and "government employees". Furthermore, this alert comes at the conclusion of a week where Taliban and Afghan leaders have begun historic negotiations for peace and leadership in the country and broader Middle East region. These threats would be in line with the Taliban's harsh treatment of women during their power grab in the 1990s and may prove Afghan leaders skeptical of the peace deal guided by the US. Rather than blaming the US, Afghanistan would be distrusting of the Taliban in negotiations.
