The Taliban have taken over the Norwegian embassy in Kabul and took to smashing wine bottles and destroy books at the establishment.
Norwegian ambassador to Iran, Sigvald Hague, said in a tweet, “Taliban has now taken over the Norwegian Embassy in Kabul. Say they will return it to us later. But first wine bottles are to be smashed and childrens’ books destroyed. Guns apparently less dangerous.”
Earlier, the Taliban had said that they would not interfere in the diplomatic establishment of foreign nations, including embassies.
Last month Denmark and Norway had announced that they are closing their embassies in Kabul and evacuating their staff as the security situation worsened in Afghanistan.
The Taliban on Tuesday announced an interim government made up of veterans of its hardline rule from the 1990s and its 20-year war with the US-led coalition.
The international community is concerned over the makeup of Afghanistan’s new Cabinet following the inclusion of at least 14 Taliban members, who are on the UN Security Council’s terrorism blacklist.
