| Hamid Karzai, left, leader of the transitional Afghan government, receives a Qur’an (the holy book of Islam) from former Afghan king Zahir Shah in Rome, Italy, where Zahir lived in exile after the overthrow of the Afghan monarchy in 1973. Karzai made more than a dozen high-level diplomatic trips abroad after he took office as interim leader of Afghanistan in December 2001. He was elected transitional head of state in June 2002. | ||||||
