CIA director secretly met with Taliban leader in Kabul
CIA Director William Burns held a secret meeting with the
Taliban head Abdul Ghani Baradar in Kabul on Monday, the Washington Post
reported.
According to the WP, this is the first face-to-face meeting
between the Taliban and Biden administration since Kabul's fall on August 15,
2021.
President Biden’s decision to send CIA director for talks
with the Taliban group comes amid a effort to evacuate people from Kabul
airport in what the Biden described as “one of the largest, most difficult
airlifts in history.”
The White House reported that the US has so far evacuated
about 48,000 people from Afghanistan since August 14.
