<p>
Haqqani network is a vast and long-standing criminal network, but they swore bay’aht, pledged allegiance to the Taliban and fought under the Taliban and really provided the teeth to the Taliban strategy in capturing the country.</p>
<p>
According to the FBI's Rewards for Justice Program, the “United States Department of State is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information leading directly to the arrest of Sirajuddin Haqqani.” The US says that “Haqqani is thought to stay in Pakistan, specifically the Miram Shah, North Waziristan, Pakistan, area. He is the head of the Haqqani network, and maintains close ties to the Taliban and al Qaeda. Haqqani is a specially designated global terrorist.”</p>
<p>
Sirajuddin Haqqani’s father and founder Jalaluddin Haqqani was the first Pakistani recruited Jihadi who first took arms again the Afghan state way back in 1973 and the relations has continued. The Haqqani network, which has the backing of elements within the Pakistani security establishment, is now one of Afghanistan’s most experienced and sophisticated insurgent organizations. The HQN still maintains a safe haven in North Waziristan, Pakistan, across Afghanistan’s southeastern border. The Pakistani Army has consistently refused to launch a military operation in North Waziristan despite the presence of al-Qaeda senior leadership. The Pakistani army and ISI t continue to view the HQN as a useful ally and proxy force to represent their interests in Afghanistan.To this end, Haqqani forces have repeatedly targeted Indian infrastructure and construction projects in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>
Thanks to the ISI ,the Haqqani Network, which now gets the lion's share of political power in Afghanistan under Taliban, remains Pakistan’s most loyal proxy and an al-Qaeda affiliate. According to Pakistani media, ISI chief Faiz Hameed was personally handling the Taliban’s government formation in Kabul and he made sure that as a patron, Haqqanis get a strong and strategic place in the government.</p>
