Reports indicate that some key members of presidential candidate Mohammad Haneef Atmar’s team have held talks with Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah and his team members days after the Peace and Moderation team’s campaign suspended.

Members of Abdullah’s campaign said that Salahuddin Rabbani, Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs and head of Jamiat-e-Islami party, has met with Mohammad Yunus Qanooni, Atmar’s running mate in the upcoming presidential election, and Atta Mohammad Noor, a key figure of Jamiat party and a key supporter of Peace and Moderation Team.

Officials from ministries of Interior and Defense on Saturday assured that Afghan forces are fully ready to ensure people’s safety during the three days of Eid al-Adha.

The security forces will be in a special status during the Eid days, the Defense Ministry spokesman Rohullah Ahmadzai said at a press conference.
