In New Delhi, the drama unfolds once again! For the second time in just two days, Taliban foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi boldly claimed Afghanistan's embassy in India. There's no official nod from India yet for his regime, but Muttaqi didn't let that stop him. He held another press conference right inside the embassy building. What caught everyone's eye?
