Dread is Haqqani Network
Haqqani network based in Pakistan is a deadly terrorist organization which is believed to be responsible for the death of 90% of the people killed in Eastern Afghanistan due to terrorism. Along with being involved in many attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the Haqqani network is also said to be responsible for the killings of American soldiers.

In this attack, three terrorists including Haqqani network’s top commander Ehsan Khawri were killed. Two missiles were fired from the American drone. This attack was done near the Hangu district. The American drone targeted a house of Afghan refugees near Spen Thal in northern Waziristan. Where these terrorists were staying.
What is Haqqani Network?
Haqqani Network attacks terrorists in Afghanistan. A special target of these attacks is made by US-led NATO soldiers and the Afghan government. This network runs its activity from Afghanistan. Its base is also in Afghanistan, but there have been allegations that it enjoys the patronage of the ISI of Pakistan’s intelligence agency.
Though Pakistani dictators call Haqqani as Afghan extremist group but its roots have spread in Pakistan. The US has been presenting this extremist organization as a threat for a long time and has been accusing it of having relations with terrorist organizations like al-Qaida and Taliban. Haqqani is also accused of having several bomb blasts in eastern Afghanistan and Kabul.
