Taliban takes control of presidential palace, poses for pictures inside: The Taliban took control of the presidential palace in Kabul on Sunday — brazenly posing for pictures inside vacated Afghan government offices and meeting rooms. The images show heavily armed fighters from the extremist Islamic group standing around one Taliban leader as he sits at the desk of departed President Ashraf Ghani, who fled the capital city, according to reports. Another photo shows more than a dozen rebels sitting at a long conference table inside the Afghan government building, Al Jazeera reported.
