Informed sources have confirmed that Taliban’s intelligence agency has detained several employees of the former government’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Sources said that these detentions have caused deep concern and fear among the ministry's staff.

It is said that among the detainees is Sayed Nabi Nabil, a former advisor of the Afghanistan embassy in Saudi Arabia. Some users on social networks have introduced him as a member of the Jamiat-e-Islami Party led by Salahuddin Rabbani.

Sources told Afghanistan International that some employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, especially non-Pashtuns, are concerned about their detention for ethnic reasons.

So far, there are no details available about the reason for the detention of these employees.
