US commits to Afghan Taliban talks despite Kabul attack

The US and Afghan presidents have "reaffirmed" their support for holding talks with the Taliban, despite an attack in central Kabul on Tuesday.

Barack Obama and Hamid Karzai agreed in a video conference that a peace process was the surest way to end the violence, the White House has said.

They also reiterated their backing for a Taliban office in Doha.
