US officials believe that Badruddin Haqqani, one of the top leaders of the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani Network, may have been killed in a recent US drone strike in North Waziristan.
US officials have told The New York Times that intelligence from the region indicates that Badruddin was killed in one of the five drone strikes that have taken place in the past week. Intelligence officials are attempting to confirm that Badruddin was indeed killed.
Yesterday, US intelligence officials told The Long War Journal that the remotely piloted Predators and Reapers were targeting an “important jihadi leader” in the region, but his name was not disclosed. […]
Badruddin is one of the Haqqani Network’s most senior leaders. He is thought to serve as the top deputy to Sirajuddin Haqqani, the group’s operational commander.
The US State department added Badruddin to the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists on May 11, 2011. In the designation, State said that he “sits on the Miramshah Shura [council], which has command and control over all Haqqani Network activities, and helps lead insurgents and foreign fighters in attacks against targets in southeastern Afghanistan.”
