Pakistan Handling the Haqqanis
FILE - This Aug. 22, 1998 file photo, Jalaluddin Haqqani, then Taliban Army Supreme Commander, talks to reporters in Miram Shah, Waziristan, Pakistan. The Haqqanis story is one of shifting alliances in Afghanistan's long history of war and foreign occupation, and one that underscores the difficulty of sorting friend from foe in the current conflict. The highly autonomous Afghan Taliban faction _ whose leader Jalaluddin Haqqani was once a U.S. ally, is a serious threat to American and NATO troops in Afghanistan's east and operates on both sides of the border with Pakistan.
