The
United States has offered a total $30m in return for information on key
leaders of the Haqqani network, blamed for numerous attacks in
Afghanistan.
“The Department has authorised rewards of up
to $5m each for information leading to the location of Aziz Haqqani,
Khalil al-Rahman Haqqani, Yahya Haqqani, and Abdul Rauf Zakir,” the
State Department said in a statement on Wednesday.
It also increased its previous reward offer of
up to $5m for information on the group’s leader, Sirajuddin Haqqani, to
up to $10m.
The State Department added: “The group is
allied with al-Qaeda and the Afghan Taliban and cooperates with other
terrorist organisations in the region.”
It said that the Pakistan-based Haqqani
network was “the most lethal insurgent group” targeting the US-led NATO
coalition and Afghan personnel in Afghanistan.
