Minutes after the attack, Ghani began delivering his speech in the presence of a number of senior officials. "The Taliban has no will for peace and reconciliation," he said.

He pointed out that "everyone who believed that the Taliban had changed was wrong, and we also made a mistake in releasing thousands of Taliban prisoners in order to encourage them for a political solution."
