Haqqani was a senior leader of the Haqqani network, known for carrying out major attacks during the 20-year war. The U.S. had labeled him a "global terrorist" in 2011 and offered a $5 million reward for his capture. The Taliban had taken control of Afghanistan in 2021, but attacks in urban areas continue.
