A major explosion took place in Afghanistan’s Kabul near a mosque on December 11. Afghan Taliban's acting Refugees Minister, Khalil Rahman Haqqani was killed in the blast, his nephew confirmed. Haqqani was killed with 6 others after an explosion took place while he was leaving a mosque after afternoon prayers. Taliban Spokesperson claimed that the Islamic State militant group had killed Khalil Rahman Haqqani. However, the Islamic State militant group did not immediately claim responsibility for the attack. Khalil Haqqani became a minister in the Taliban's interim Govt after foreign forces withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021. He was the Senior leader of the Haqqani network, a militant faction blamed for major attacks during the 20-year war, as per the US. The US classified Khalil Haqqani, as a "global terrorist" in 2011 & offered a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest. Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021 as foreign forces withdrew, vowing to restore security, but attacks continued in urban areas. In 2022, a blast took place near the Interior Ministry, led by Haqqani network leader Sirajuddin Haqqani, killing 4 people. In 2023, Islamic State claimed an attack outside the Taliban-run foreign ministry that killed at least five.
