Senior Haqqani Taliban figures were aware of Al- Zawahiri’s presence in Kabul, a senior admin official said today.

Former US special rep for Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad told @margbrennan in Oct. 2021: “The Taliban that I dealt with, they told me they did not know where he was”

Asked if he believed them, Khalilzad said there was a “lack of trust” between them. “That’s why it’s very important not to take their word for it, in terms of what they say or what they commit to,” he said at the time.

The news reporters here said that he was not in hiding but out in public moving around freely and that’s how he was located. People in the know, think that he was outed . Sounds more likely to me.
