Sources in Kabul say that Taliban forces today raided the home of Hamid Karzai, the former president of Afghanistan.

Sources add that a number of tribal elders and political figures from the previous government had gone to his home in Kabul to meet with Mr. Karzai.

Images leaked by the media show a number of politicians and tribal elders.

Hamid Karzai, the former president of Afghanistan, had previously also not been allowed by the Taliban group to make several foreign trips.

This comes as the Taliban group and Hamid Karzai have so far not commented on this incident, and the motive behind this action is also unclear.
