Taliban negotiators are heading to the presidential palace to prepare for a “transfer” of power, according to an Afghan official.

The official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity due to fear of reprisals, said Sunday that the goal was a peaceful handing over of the government to the Taliban.

The Taliban have said they don’t plan to take the capital by force.
