A power struggle looks to be brewing in the junta ruling Afghanistan, as Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani – an FBI Most Wanted terrorist, New York Times published commentator, and leader of the Haqqani Network – lodged a bit of veiled public criticism against Taliban Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada over the weekend.
Taliban “Interior Minister” Sirajuddin Haqqani, a seasoned terrorist with a $10 million FBI bounty on his head, told United Nations officials on Monday that the jihadis would soon offer a “reasonable and permanent solution” regarding girls’ and women’s education.
The “Interior Ministry” of the terrorist government of the Taliban advertised in a news conference on Sunday the development of an armed forces wing dedicated to suicide bombing, the “Martyrdom Brigades,” calling the bombers “our source of pride.”
One year after President Joe Biden’s catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan, and two weeks after Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was liquidated by a U.S. airstrike while living as a guest of the Taliban in Kabul, it’s worth taking a look back at the February 2020 decision by the New York Times to give top terrorist leader Sirajuddin Haqqani space to explain “What We, the Taliban, Want.”
Taliban “interior minister” Sirajuddin Haqqani, who several reports claim may have owned the home where a U.S. airstrike eliminated al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri a little over a week ago, launched a tour of remote Helmand province this weekend to applaud the “jihadi achievements” of its people.
Al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri reportedly met his end on Sunday morning while enjoying the view from the balcony of his safe house, which was located in an upscale Kabul neighborhood inhabited by top Taliban officials. A U.S. drone blew Zawahiri off the balcony with a precision missile that left the other occupants of his home uninjured.
The Taliban backpedaled on Thursday after FBI-wanted terrorist and Afghan “Interior Minister” Sarajuddin Haqqani threatened the United States if Washington did not recognize the Taliban as a legitimate government.
A group of Senate Republicans sent a letter to President Joe Biden’s administration urging them to designate the Taliban as a terrorist organization.
A Taliban spokesman on Tuesday denied rumors that Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, recently named deputy prime minister of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, has been killed in a gun battle with a rival Taliban faction.
A wanted Taliban terrorist is reportedly responsible for passport operations in Afghanistan, the Associated Press reports.
