Haqqani

A leader in the Haqqani network in Pakistan, an insurgent group labeled as a terrorist organization by the U.S., was likely killed in a drone strike, said Pakistan intelligence officials over the weekend.

Taliban officials do not want to meet with representatives of Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s government despite having met with U.S. officials.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had a lengthy discussion with Pakistan officials on the matter of how to deal with the insurgent Haqqani network after last week’s deadly, 20-hour-long attack on NATO buildings and the American embassy in Kabul.
