Once the home of the Communist president killed in his bed by the invading Soviets, Tajbeg Palace became the HQ for the Soviet 40th Army. Following their withdrawal became a building of significance used by following leaders of the Mujaheddin Taleban and now a post of the Afghan Army. Once where the queen waved through the middle window on the upper floor Taleban would behead....a place that is truly unique.
