Organization:notes | The Haqqani Network is an Afghan and Pakistani insurgent group described as one of the most powerful and violent organizations in the region. The Haqqani Network is an Islamist militant organization whose primary goal includes reestablishing the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and supporting the reemergence of the Afghan Taliban’s authority over the country. The Haqqani Network also believe Western forces must be removed from the country. Under its current leader, Sirajuddin Haqqani, the Haqqani Network is committed as well to supporting global jihad, including armed conflict to expand the Islamic world. The Haqqani Network has historically cooperated with Taliban factions and has been called the most lethal arm of the Taliban. The Haqqani Network functions as an autonomous branch of the Taliban that carries out operational attacks and serves as a conduit for other terrorist organizations’ activities. The group is also known to maintain close ties to Al Qaida. The Haqqani Network poses a significant local threat. The Haqqani Network has been responsible for many of the highest-profile attacks in Afghanistan. Haqqani Network operations account for about one-tenth of attacks on coalition troops, and about 15 percent of casualties. The Haqqani Network was the first group to adopt the use of suicide bombers for attacks in Afghanistan. The Haqqani Network uses large vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices, suicide vests, and swarming attacks, which captured headlines and created doubts about the ability of Afghan forces to protect its civilians without NATO support. The Haqqani Network specializes in coordinated attacks, favours a military-centric approach, via armed struggle, committing high-profile assassination attempts, suicide attacks, and waging a war of insurgency against the West. | ca_listed_terrorists | ca-lte-26-haqqani-network | ||||
