FILE - In this Saturday Aug. 22, 1998 file photo, Jalaluddin Haqqani, then Taliban Army Supreme Commander, speaks during an interview in Miram Shah, Pakistan. Critics say Pakistan's reluctance to go after the Afghan Taliban and particularly the so-called Haqqani network, led by longtime resistance fighter and former U.S. ally Jalaluddin Haqqani, is part of a longer-term strategy to keep them as potential allies when U.S. and NATO troops pull out of Afghanistan.
