US Removes Deceased Haqqani Leader from Blacklist

(26.09.) The U.S. Treasury Department quietly said Thursday that Badruddin Haqqani, an operational leader of the Haqqani Network, was removed from a State Department blacklist.

Mr. Haqqani, who was confirmed killed in August 2012, was also delisted this week by a United Nations Security Council sanctions committee. The U.S. State Department branded him a “global terrorist” in 2011.
