Summary The Taliban said Thursday it had suspended contacts with the United States in Qatar.

The US-Taliban talks had built hopes of a fledgling peace process, just days after an American shooting spree left 16 Afghans dead.It was due to their alternating and ever-changing position that the Islamic Emirate was compelled to suspend all dialogue with the Americans, a statement posted on the Taliban website said.
