Taliban co-founder Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar arrived in Kabul on August 21 for talks on establishing a new "inclusive" government in Afghanistan, a senior official said. Other senior Taliban leaders seen in the capital in recent days include Khalil Haqqani, one of America's most wanted terrorists with a $5 million bounty on his head. Pro-Taliban social media feeds showed Haqqani meeting Gulbuddin Hekmatyar —a former bitter rival during the brutal civil war of the early 1990s, but still influential in Afghan politics.More Related News
