Burhanuddin Rabbani (1940 – 20 September 2011) was President of Afghanistan from 1992 to 1996.[1] Burhanuddin Rabbani was the leader of Jamiat-e Islami Afghanistan (Islamic Society of Afghanistan). He also served as the political head of the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan (UIFSA), an alliance of various political groups who fought against Taliban rule in Afghanistan. He served as President from 1992–1996 until he was forced to leave Kabul because of the Taliban takeover of the city. His government was recognized by many countries, as well as the United Nations. He is currently the head of Afghanistan National Front (known in the media as United National Front), the largest political opposition to Hamid Karzai's government.

2 government sources: Ex-Afghan president and peace council head Burhanuddin Rabbani killed
Kabul: Ex-Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani killed in suicide attack

Kabul: Ex-Afghanistan President Burhanuddin Rabbani has been killed in explosion inside his house. Rabbani was heading the country's efforts to talk peace with the Taliban.

The suicide attack took place in the city's diplomatic zone, an AFP reporter said, adding that an ambulance had arrived at the scene and surrounding roads were blocked off.


Adding to Drech's post(s)..


sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Rabbani was killed Tuesday evening at his home in Kabul.

Rabbani was head of the country's high peace council, which was set up by the Afghan government to work toward a political solution. However, it had made little headway since it was formed a year ago.

Rabbani was president of the Afghan government that preceded the Taliban. After he was driven from Kabul in 1996, he became the nominal head of the Northern Alliance, mostly minority Tajiks and Uzbeks, who swept to power in Kabul after the Taliban's fall. Rabbani is an ethnic Tajik.
