As per news report of NDTV, The Taliban released the list of its members' new roles, including Qari Baryal to serve as governor of Kabul and Wali Jan Hamza as the city's police chief. The previous commander in charge of Kabul's security, Mawlawi Hamdullah Mukhlis, was killed this month in an attack on Afghanistan's largest military hospital in downtown Kabul. The Taliban took over the country on Aug 15 but have faced an uphill battle in their promise to restore order and security after decades of war.
