Taliban co-founder Baradar in Kabul for talks to set up government

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

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.
