The Taliban interim Afghan government came to blows last week, indicating the nascent regime has already fractured, days after the Cabinet formed, according to a new report.

The factions backing Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar and Khalil ur-Rehman Haqqani erupted into an argument and physical fighting last week at the presidential palace in Kabul over who was responsible for the Taliban takeover of the country and how power should be divided in the new Cabinet, according to BBC News.
