The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan warned that extremist groups are planning to carry out targeted attacks against women, The Associated Press reported Friday. 

According to the AP, the warning issued late Thursday did not make clear which groups were behind the planned attacks or when they were expected to occur. 

Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed told The Associated Press on Friday that the “Taliban don’t have any plans to carry out any such attacks.”

The warning comes after peace talks in Qatar began Saturday between the Taliban and the Afghan government in an effort to create a unity government in Afghanistan and end years of war that have killed and displaced millions of people.

If a peace deal is reached between the two parties, it would be the first time a government is formed through diplomatic means rather than through internal or foreign military force. 

The peace talks have been supported by the Trump administration, which signed a deal with the Taliban in February to start a gradual withdrawal of troops in Afghanistan and to put pressure on Kabul to hand over 5,000 Taliban prisoners. In return, the administration is hoping that a unity government will prevent future terrorist attacks from being organized in the area. 

The AP reported Friday that the embassy warning stated that “extremist organizations continue to plan attacks against a variety of targets in Afghanistan, including a heightened risk of attacks targeting female government and civilian workers, including teachers, human rights activists, office workers, and government employees.”

The Taliban have faced criticism for their treatment of women and girls during their five-year rule in Afghanistan, which ended in 2001 when a U.S.-led coalition ousted the regime in retaliation for the group’s sheltering of al Qaeda, which organized the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the U.S.

“Trump Jr. is coming back to Montana because he is energized by our U.S. Senate candidate, Matt Rosendale, and the opportunity we have to Take Out Tester in the fall! Trump Jr. knows how important it is to have a strong supporter like Matt Rosendale in the U.S. Senate to help our president Make America Great Again,” the invitation reads.

Tester has emerged as a major target for the Trump administration after his rant against the GOP tax plan went viral last year and after he released a set of damning allegations that sunk Trump’s nominee to run the Veterans Affairs Department, Dr. Ronny Jackson.

The pro-Trump super PAC America First Action has already targeted Tester over Jackson’s failed nomination in ads ahead of November’s midterm elections.

“In Montana, we value integrity and support our president,” a narrator says in one ad from the super PAC. “But Jon Tester spread false information about a respected Navy admiral, helping D.C.

“Jon Tester’s been part of the D.C. swamp for far too long. He’s betrayed our trust, our veterans and our president,” it continues, calling Tester “disgraceful” and “dishonest.”

The Republican chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee has defended how Tester handled the release of the allegations against Jackson.

A Gravis poll taken earlier this month showed Tester with a 8-point lead over Rosendale, twice the margin with which he won over Republican Rep. Dennis Rehberg in 2012.

Indiana Sen. Joe DonnellyJoseph (Joe) Simon DonnellyEx-Sen. Joe Donnelly endorses Biden Lobbying world 70 former senators propose bipartisan caucus for incumbents MORE (D) is out with a new television ad that blasts his opponent, Republican businessman Mike Braun, for relying on importing foreign goods for his auto-parts distribution company.

The ad is the latest salvo in a battle by the two candidates over outsourcing, as both sides try to frame the other as failing to support American business.

Donnelly’s ad, first obtained by The Hill before its release, takes aim at foreign auto-parts companies that Braun’s business, Meyer Distributing, imports and later sells.

It charts what it calls Braun’s “global network” that includes countries like Mexico and China and accuses Braun of trying to dodge the issue when he said during a February debate that he doesn’t know where the parts his company imports are made.

“While Joe Donnelly has fought for Hoosier jobs every step of the way in the Senate, Rep. Braun made $18 million last year alone by selling cheap foreign auto parts at the expense of Hoosier workers. He can’t fool Hoosiers by feigning ignorance on where his parts come from — no matter what he sells, voters know his parts come from China and other countries,” Donnelly communications director Will Baskin-Gerwitz said in a statement along with the new ad.

Donnelly’s ad is a six-figure buy that will run in every television market that touches the state except for Louisville, Ky., and Cincinnati.

The issue of outsourcing has become a centerpiece of the high-profile race, where Republicans are looking to knock off Donnelly in a state President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE won by 19 points in 2016.

Braun faced attacks during his GOP primary bid for selling imported goods even as he criticized outsourcing in his campaign ads. Donnelly has picked up where the GOP rivals left off with attacks like the one in his new ad.

But Braun’s campaign has pushed back on that characterization in the past, arguing that he’ll stand up for American jobs in the Senate and attacking Donnelly for his family’s ties to outsourcing. It also launched a website aimed at discrediting the attacks, which argues that “95 percent of his suppliers are American.”

“Senator Donnelly is a career politician and his family business profited from sending jobs to Mexico. Mike Braun built an American company and has created thousands of jobs here in America. Like President Trump, Mike will take on the system that has sent jobs out of our country and bring them back,” Braun spokesman Josh Kelley said in a statement in March to the local news outlet Indy Politics when questioned about attacks on Braun’s record.

Republicans have attacked Donnelly on outsourcing ever since a 2017 Associated Press story detailed how his family’s company operated a factory in Mexico. Those attacks have surfaced in ads by both Braun and GOP outside groups this cycle, while the National Republican Senatorial Committee dubbed Donnelly “Mexico Joe” as it sought to repeatedly criticize him for the link.

Donnelly’s campaign has defended against those attacks by arguing he hasn’t held an active role in the company in 20 years, long before the outsourcing decision was made. And he sold his stock in the company after the story revealed the ties to Mexican labor.

Democratic strategist Doug Schoen slammed James ComeyJames Brien ComeyGOP votes to give Graham broad subpoena power in Obama-era probe This week: Democrats introduce sweeping police reform package Graham postpones Russia probe subpoena vote as tensions boil over MORE on Monday after the former FBI director recently warned the Democratic Party not to move too far to the left.

Schoen’s comments, made during an appearance on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News show, come a day after Comey, a former Republican, advised Democrats on Twitter not to “lose your minds and rush to the socialist left.” 

“This president and his Republican Party are counting on you to do exactly that. America’s great middle wants sensible, balanced, ethical leadership,” Comey wrote to his more than 1 million followers. 

Schoen expressed anger at Comey’s comments, pointing to the former FBI director’s actions during the 2016 election, which included reopening the investigation into Democratic candidate Hillary ClintonHillary Diane Rodham ClintonWhite House accuses Biden of pushing ‘conspiracy theories’ with Trump election claim Biden courts younger voters — who have been a weakness Trayvon Martin’s mother Sybrina Fulton qualifies to run for county commissioner in Florida MORE’s private email server in the waning days of the campaign.  “I would say to Jim Comey, ‘You screwed up the last election in a multiplicity of ways. Why don’t you just keep your opinions to yourself?’ ” Schoen told Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle.” “We Democrats have enough problems with you interposing yourself.” “As for the Democratic Party, my goodness. It has moved so far to the left,” Schoen, a Fox News contributor, continued. “As as a free-market capitalist myself who believes in a mixed economy and a strong national defense, I have nothing in common with Ocasio-Cortez and the democratic socialists, nor do the mass of moderate voters that decide midterm and indeed most elections.”  “I am just sick to my stomach, sick at heart that my party has left me in ways that I find difficult to understand,” he concluded.  Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 28, stunned the Democratic political establishment last month after easily beating 10-term incumbent Rep. Joseph Crowley (D) in New York’s 14th District while running on progressive proposals including free college tuition and “Medicare for all.”
