Taliban announced the death of Jalaluddin Haqqani- Namaste English

Jalaluddin Haqqani, leader of one of the most powerful and dreaded groups in the Afghan insurgency - Haqqani Network, died after a prolonged illness, the Taliban announced on Tuesday.

Jalaluddin had entrusted the operational leadership of the network some years ago to his son Sirajuddin Haqqani.

तालिबान ने मंगलवार को घोषणा की कि अफ़ग़ानी बग़ावत के सबसे शक्तिशाली और खूंखार समूहों में से एक - हक़्क़ानी नेटवर्क के लीडर जलालुद्दीन हक्कानी की एक लम्बी बीमारी के बाद मृत्यु हो गई। हक़्क़ानी नेटवर्क विश्वभर में तब कुख्यात हुआ जब उसने 1980 के दशक में अफ़ग़ानिस्तान के सोवियत कब्ज़े के खिलाफ बग़ावत करने में अमेरिकी सैनिकों की मदद लेने के बाद उनके ही खिलाफ लड़ाई छेड़ दी थी। जलालुद्दीन ने कुछ साल पहले अपने बेटे सिराजुद्दीन हक्कानी को नेटवर्क का परिचालन नेतृत्व सौंप दिया था।
