Nasiruddin Haqqani, leader of Haqqani terror network who was shot dead, had been living in areas near the Pakistani capital for years, reports on Tuesday said.
Quoting a senior member of Haqqani network, The News daily reported that “Nasiruddin was living in Rawalpindi for the past many years along with other family members.”
Nasiruddin was the group’s financier and the son of its founder Jalaluddin Haqqani. He was killed by two gunmen riding a motorcycle while returning home from a mosque in a car in Barakahu on Sunday night. Report said, Naseeruddin’s bullet-riddled body was initially shifted to his Rawalpindi home and then transported for burial to Danday Darpakhel, a village located three km northwest of North Waziristan’s headquarters in Miranshah, where some family members of Jalaluddin Haqqani have been living since 1980.
