Check out this crazy looking dude. He still alive TODAY and living somewhere in eastern/central pakistan. Imagine if he knocked on your door.

Jalaluddin Haqqani (Pashto:) (c. 1950- ) is a Pashtun military leader known for his involvement in fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s, specially during Operation Magistral, as well as for being invited by President Hamid Karzai to become Prime Minister of Afghanistan.
More recently, he has led pro-Taliban militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan[1]. He has also been credited with introducing suicide bombing to the region.

Kateloonke Katel Leader
Originally a member of the Hezb-i Islami of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar[3], Haqqani was admired by certain eastern Pashtuns during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and ensuing civil war.[1] In 1991 he was the first resistance leader to capture a city, Khost, from the Najibullah government. After the fall of Kabul to the Mujahideen in 1992, he was appointed justice minister in the first Mujahideen government.[3]
Operating against the Soviets and the Afghan government from a safe haven in North Waziristan[2], Haqqani is reputed to have once had strong ties with the CIA and the Pakistani ISI[3]. He reputedly attracted generous support from prosperous Arab countries compared to other resistance leaders.[4]

Relations with the Taliban
Haqqani was not originally a member of the Taliban. In 1995, just prior to the Taliban's occupation of Kabul, he switched his allegiance to them. In 1996-97, he served as a Taliban military commander north of Kabul, and was accused of ethnic cleansing against local Tajik populations.[3]

During the Taliban years in power, he served as the Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs and governor of Paktia Province

Post-2001

In October, 2001, Haqqani was named the Taliban's military commander. He may have had a role in expediting the escape of Osama Bin Laden. With his base in Khost under repeated American air attack, it is believed he crossed the border into the Waziristan region of Pakistan himself in November or December.[3]
Four Guantanamo detainees -- Abib Sarajuddin, Khan Zaman, Gul Zaman and Mohammad Gul -- were captured and held because American intelligence officials received a report that one of them had briefly hosted Haqqani shortly after the fall of the Taliban.[5] [6] [7] [8]

It is claimed Haqqani has since been offered positions of authority by President Hamid Karzai's government, including the offer of the post of Prime Minister
Role in Waziristan Conflict
Haqqani and his son, Sirajuddin Haqqani, are believed to be commanders of the Taliban mujahideen forces in the Pakistan agency of Waziristan.[9] The success of the mujahideen fighters in the two-year Waziristan Conflict against the Pakistan Army pressured the government to agree to the 2006 Waziristan Accord, a cease-fire agreement allowing Taliban fighters to operate with impunity in Waziristan as long as Pakistani law is followed and the Taliban do not launch raids into neighboring Afghanistan. The local Taliban, identified by some as the Islamic Emirate of Waziristan[10], appear to have been strengthened by the cease-fire agreement, which stipulated the release of up to 2,500 fighters held by the Pakistan government, as well as the return of all weapons captured by government forces during the war.
Haqqani is said to speak fluent Arabic.

wait... was this a promo for djskee? lol
thats what i was listening to at the time..

Check this stuff out;

A warlord and head of the Taliban in North Waziristan, Jalaluddin Haqqani is believed to be the architect of the Taliban's current attacks on U.S. and coalition forces in Afghanistan and he's credited with introducing a new tactic -- suicide bombing.
Haqqani has had a long history with Saudi, American and Pakistani intelligence agencies. During the Afghan jihad against the Soviets, he was one of the favored commanders and received millions of dollars from the West and Saudis, as well as Stinger missiles, rocket-propelled grenades, mortars, explosives and tanks. He became close to Osama bin Laden during the jihad and after the Taliban took control, he served as minister of tribal affairs in its government. He has worked with Pakistani intelligence for more than 20 years; the U.S. has repeatedly asked Pakistan to capture or kill him.
United states and pakistan government asked him for truce?!
US Central Intelligence Agency and Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) have sent messages to Haqqani, asking for a truce. But to date he has not changed his position.
A Warrior;

Is he Pakistani or an Afghan?
He's an Afghan who has some credibility in terms of social identity in the Miram Shah area, but mostly he's earned his reputation by being an extraordinarily effective, brave and tenacious war fighter. He fought the Communists in that area around Miram Shah ... very effectively.
He was under fire himself, wounded, treated in hospitals in the Persian Gulf, back into the fray. I think for many of the Saudis and other Gulf Arabs who would encounter him at hajj, where he would raise money in tents in Mecca, he was the symbol of Afghan bravery and independence in the face of the Soviet occupation. He came to understand through his own acquisition of Arabic language and his frequent visits to Saudi Arabia that his reputation was something that could lead him to resources that many of his rival commanders could not possess.
The CIA and the ISI in the late '80s also saw Haqqani as an unusually effective commander against Soviet forces. He was willing to fight. He didn't go to a lot of meetings; he might be rough around the edges, but Americans would go up to Miram Shah and sit cross-legged at meetings with him as the cash and the weapons were being directed his way. They came away with an impression similar to the pilgrims at the hajj: This was an Afghan war fighter. This was an independent-minded, dangerous man, but someone we could do business with. Haqqani received a great deal of support.
At the same time, he controlled this area around the south of the Khyber Pass … that was an obvious crossing point for volunteers like bin Laden, who were based in Peshawar. It's not a coincidence that the first camps that bin Laden created in Afghanistan, Lion's Den and some related infrastructure that he started to build, were in Haqqani's territory.
As the war on terror goes into 2008 some of the opposition on the other side still live on after years of fighting against major forces like the united states & soviet union.Responsible for Many deaths.

The two gentlemen standing next to him are suicide bombers.

Th afghans are taking the war into pakistan.Their is not much left to destroy in Afghanistan.The united states has troops stationed their but are not involved in every day heavy combat according to these articles.

This is an exzample of a Saudi Arabain Funded warlord generals moving a force down south from afghanistan.The united states army can not attack them in pakistan yet. A news article released today states that Britians "scotland yard" has gotten involved in to the "Bhutto assasination".

In the 1950's Prince Charles Mother>Queen Elizabeth II was the "queen" of Pakistan. Pakistan is not much of a fully devolped country . Rather a bunch of loose nit provinces and states. The Most influential and largest being the Western Punjabs and the Newly Afghan Refugges from Kabol & khandhar,afghanistan.

If a pakistan got involved in a war right now it would be Gutted like a fish from all the forces interested in getting a piece in 2008.You got the Iranians from the west. The afghan Islamic Force pushing from the north. The punjabs interested in devolping a whole new Khalsa state & joining east & west punjab. You Got India with major troop ocupation just north of islamabad in the kashmir mountains, just waiting to grab that piece of property.
Its like their getting Pushed Inwards from all direction. The only other major barganing piece they had on the table was bangledesh. But that got hit by an mysterious tropical cyclone (much like huricane katrina) and wiped out their sister governments economy. And now Bangledesh has got deeper in debt to other countrys like India.

Their was an article out today Jan/2/08 about 138 muslim scholars writing the Pope and requesting a formal Meeting about a "Holy war" he quoted.The meeting is set to take place at the Vatican in Rome . Late March/Early april 2008 around Easter.
