The suicide attackers broke into a center for training security forces in Maidan Wardak Province on Monday.

There are contradictory reports on the number of casualties. Some British media like Reuters and BBC announced that 100-120 military forces were killed.
This attack coincided with the date of the meeting between Taliban spokesman Zabidullah Mujahid and United States special envoy for peace in Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad, in Qatar.
