The US has removed millions of dollars in charges from higher members of the militant network of Haqqani in Afghanistan, including one of her leader Siđuddin Haqqani, who is also the Minister of the Taliban Government’s interior.
This is a significant move given that the Haqqani network has been accused of performing some of the most endured and deadly attacks in Afghanistan during the war led by the United States in the country, including attacks on US and Indian NATO Embassy.
Currently, the network has been a key part of the Taliban government, which has controlled Afghanistan since the foreign troops withdrew from the country in 2021, after a contract between the US -Ai Taliban was reached during the first term of President Trump.
The move in raising points comes for weeks for the second term of President Trump, and just a few days after US officials met with the Taliban Government in Kabul to ensure the release of an American tourist detained from 2022.
The US State Department spokesman confirmed to the BBC that “for Siđuddin Haqqani there is no current prize,” his brother Abdul Aziz Haqqani and Zet Yahya Haqqani, but they are still “a particularly determined global terrorist and Haqani network”.
The FBI website, which showed a $ 10 million wealth on Monday on Siđuddin Haqqani, has now been updated to eliminate the prize bid.
Taliban Ministry spokesman Taliban Abdul Mateen Qani told the BBC that the abolition of the abolition “was the consequences of continuous diplomatic efforts of” his government. “It’s a good step and it shows our new interaction with the world, and especially with the United States. They (US delegation) told us that they wanted to increase the positive interaction and construction of confidence between us,” he added.
On Saturday, the US delegation, including an envoy from the hostage Adam Boehler and former envoy in Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad, met with the Minister of the Foreign Affairs of the Taliban Government Amir Khan Muttaqi and other Taliban officials in Kabul. After, US National George Girzmann, Closed in December 2022 while visiting Afghanistan as a tourist, released the Taliban government.
It is unclear whether the abolition of the settlement was part of the negotiations.
It was founded by the father of Siđuddin Haqqani, Jalaluddin Haqqani in the 1980s, the Haqqqani network began as anti-Soviet clothing supported by the CIA, which operated in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it has grown into one of the most terrible anti -western militant organizations in the region.
The group filed with the Taliban when they first took power in Afghanistan in 1996. Jalaluddin Haqqani died of a long -term illness in 2018.
Currently, Siđuddin Haqqqani appears as a power center in the Afghan Taliban government, as cracks between him and the supreme leader of Taliban Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada.
Members of the Taliban government said the BBC that the issue of women’s education is a key point of disagreement between the two sides.
Haqqanisi sought to project as a more moderate, galvanizing support among people in a country who are frustrated by the discomfort of the supreme leader in women’s education.
The discharge of the U.S. Government killer is proof that his stature is also growing from the outside, among parts of the international community who want to deal with the Taliban.
