At least eight people red and 30 others wounded when a barrage of rockets hit central Kabul on Saturday morning, only hours before Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was scheduled to meet Taliban and Afghan government negotiators. According to the Afghan Interior Ministry, the rockets hit residential neighborhoods and business districts. The Afghan government accused the Taliban for the attack but the Taliban denied any involvement. Hours after the attack the Islamic State's branch in Afghanistan claimed to be behind the attack. This attack, and others like it recently, show the Afghan government's slipping control as the United States tries to quickly withdraw troops.
