Former Taliban official assassinated in KabulKABUL, AFGHANISTAN—An assassin has shot dead a former high-ranking Taliban official working on reconciling Afghanistan’s insurgency with the government, a fresh blow to peace efforts just as Kabul announced it was gradually taking the lead from the U.S.-led coalition for providing security in much of the country.
A gunman with a silenced pistol killed Arsala Rahmani as he was riding in his car Sunday in one of the capital’s most secure areas near Kabul University, police said.
The death of Rahmani, a top member of the Afghan peace council and a senator in parliament’s upper house, dealt another setback to efforts to negotiate a political resolution to the decade-long war.
