The second Mughal emperor Humayun launched a surprise attack that pushed the Persian soldiers out of Kandahar, breaking his promise to Shah Tahmasp. With help from his father-in-law Shah Husain, his rival brother Kamran Mirza captured one Afghan city, killed its governor Zahid Beg, and then marched on Kabul. Which city did Kamran take?

Question

Accepted Answer

Ghazni. During the 1500s Mughal family wars, Kamran Mirza took Ghazni, killed governor Zahid Beg, and marched on Kabul from his base near Kandahar. His half-brother Humayun then gained firm control of Kandahar, Kabul, and Ghazni, and no rival was left to threaten his throne.
