Khalil Rahman Haqqani, the acting minister for refugees in the Taliban’s interim government, was killed in an explosion in Kabul along with six others. His nephew, Anas Haqqani, confirmed the news, describing him as a brave Mujahid. Khalil Haqqani, a senior leader of the Haqqani network, had been labeled a global terrorist by the US government, which had offered a reward for his capture. The blast’s perpetrators remain unknown amid ongoing security challenges in Afghanistan since the Taliban’s takeover.
