KABUL: Former President and the head of Afghanistan’s High Peace Council Burhanuddin Rabbani, has been killed in a suicide attack at his home early on Tuesday evening.

The head of Afghan Police Muhammad Zahir has confirmed his death.

According to media reports he was meeting two Taliban leaders when this suicide blast occurred but it is not clear whether or not these two Taliban leaders are involved in this attack.

Rabbani, was born in 1940 in Faizabad and had served as president from 1992 to 1996.

His home is in Kabul’s heavily guarded diplomatic enclave, and the attack came just a week after a 20-hour siege at the edge of the area sometimes known as the “green zone”.
