US officials have confirmed the slaying of Haqqani network commander Badruddin Haqqani in a drone strike near the Afghan border last week labelling him as a key strategist of the dreaded al-Qaeda-linked outfit."We now believe he is dead," the Washington Post reported quoting an Obama administration official.
US officials said Badruddin Haqqani was the third-highest ranking official of the militant group, which the administration considers the most potent threat to US efforts in Afghanistan, and the most senior member of the group founded by his father, Jalaluddin Haqqani, to be killed.The elder Haqqani founded the network and remains its titular head, and his brother, Sirajuddin, is its current leader.
While officials did not give the details of the drone strike that killed Badruddin Haqqani, American media reports quoting Pakistani intelligence officials said the Haqqani network commander was killed on August 24 in one of three strikes that struck militant hideouts in the Shawal valley in Pakistan's northern Waziristan tribal region.
The report said that Badruddin Haqqani was killed as he was leaving his hideout when missiles hit the place. The younger Haqqani brother has been described as the group's day-to-day operations commander.
