KABUL - A Taleban attack on a government security compound in central Afghanistan on Sunday killed at least eight security personnel, six civilians and wounded more than 180, officials said, as rival Afghan groups met in Qatar to discuss peace.

Doors and windows of the school were destroyed in the powerful explosion and the children suffered multiple injuries caused by flying shards of glass and broken pieces of wood. The attack came hours before Taleban officials were due to begin meeting a group of Afghan delegates in Qatar as part of diplomatic efforts to end years of violence and build trust between Afghan civilians and the militant group.

Mr Ghani condemned the Taleban bombing in Ghazni on Sunday, and questioned their real intent as they hold talks in Qatar. Military conflict and attacks on civilians have intensified even as the diplomatic process gains momentum, triggering tremendous unease among some Afghans about the significance of holding peace talks with the Taleban.

Six people were killed and more than 100 civilians, including 60 children, were wounded in that attack.
