KABUL – Suicide bombings, assassinations of top Afghan leaders, brutal attacks on Charikar and other places close to Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital, and a rapid increase in civilian deaths from drone attacks are jeopardizing the withdrawal of American and NATO forces from the country. So pervasive has the violence become that Ahmed Rashid, the renowned expert on the Taliban, has concluded that speeding up the peace process through dialogue with the insurgents is the only option.
发自喀布尔——自杀式炸弹，高官遇刺，对首都喀布尔附近恰里卡尔等地的大肆进攻，以及持续袭击导致的平民死伤大增都令美国与北约盟军的撤军行动蒙上了阴影。这些暴力行动是如此猖獗，以致塔利班研究专家艾哈迈德·拉什德都觉得只有通过与武装分子谈判加速和平进程才能找到出路。
