Haqqani Network

The Haqqani Network is an insurgent group based in Afghanistan and Pakistan, linked to the Taliban. It operates as a militant organization involved in attacks against Afghan and NATO forces, as well as the Afghan government. Founded by Jalaluddin Haqqani, the group combines guerrilla warfare with political influence, often relying on complex networks of supporters, host communities, and cross-border operations. It is considered a significant threat due to its capacity for high-profile attacks and its close ties with the Taliban, playing a key role in the ongoing conflict and instability in the region.
