The US Treasury Department has added three senior Haqqani Network leaders to the list of Specially Designated Global terrorists today. The designations highlight the Haqqani Network's continued support of al Qaeda, as well as its members' ability to travel to and receive funding and aid from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Saidullah Jan, a senior commander and financier; Yahya Haqqani, a senior leader involved with "military, financial, and propaganda activities"; and Muhammad Omar Zadran, a military commander, were added to the US' terrorism list.
Both Saidullah and Yahya are directly linked to al Qaeda. Saidullah traveled to Saudi Arabia to raise funds, most recently "in late 2013." Yahya "coordinated the transfer of supplies from the United Arab Emirates" to another Haqqani leader. Top Haqqani Network leaders are known to travel to Saudi Arabia to fundraise for both the network and al Qaeda.
The Haqqani Network is a powerful Taliban faction that operates in eastern, central, and northern Afghanistan, and is based in North Waziristan in Pakistan. The terror group has close links with al Qaeda, and is supported by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate. Sirajuddin is the operational commander of the Haqqani Network and leads the Miramshah Shura, one of four major Taliban regional councils. The US added Haqqani Network to list of global terror groups in August 2012.
Saidullah Jan
Treasury identified Saidullah as "a senior member of the Haqqani Network" since 2013 "who has also acted at times as an HQN [Haqqani Network] deputy, as the HQN commander for the Northern Zone of Afghanistan, and as a key HQN logistical coordinator." In northern Afghanistan, the Haqqani Network is known to operate in the provinces of Baghlan, Kunduz, Takhar, Faryab, Badakhshan, and Kunar, according to ISAF press releases that document raids against the network.
As recently as late 2013, Saidullah traveled to Sauid Arabia with senior Haqqani Network leaders such as Khalil Haqqani and Fazl Rabi (both men are Specially Designated Global Terrorists), presumably for fundraising purposes. Saidullah also traveled to Saudi Arabia in 2010 with Ahmed Jan, another Haqqani leader who is also a Specially Designated Global Terrorists. Treasury did not indicate how the known Specially Designated Global Terrorists were able to leave Pakistan or enter Saudi Arabia without being detected. However Haqqani Network leaders are known to move between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with ease.
Saidullah also has a close relationship with al Qaeda, according to Treasury. "In late 2013, Saidullah reportedly was trusted by al Qaeda members as an HQN associate who could help with any trouble, including arrest." It is unclear if Saidullah has facilitated the release of al Qaeda operatives in Pakistan or Afghanistan, or in both countries.

Haqqani leaders detained in BAHRAIN not in Afghanistan: Report
Oct 20, 2014, 02.25PM IST
WASHINGTON: Two top leaders of the al-Qaeda- linked Haqqani network, including a brother of the head of the feared terror group which is blamed for a 2008 deadly attack on Indian embassy in Kabul, were detained in Bahrain and not in Afghanistan, according to a media report.
Anas Haqqani, the son of the Taliban-affiliated network's founder Jalaluddin Haqqani, and Hafiz Rashid, a military commander, were picked up in Bahrain and later taken to Afghanistan, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The Taliban said that Haqqani and Rashid were arrested on October 12 in Bahrain by US forces, and taken to Qatar and the United Arab Emirates before reaching Kabul, the paper said.
Several Western officials said the arrests took place in the Gulf, but they were unaware of US involvement, it said.
A senior Afghan security official confirmed the two men were arrested abroad but declined to say in which country.
He said the operation was led by Afghanistan's intelligence service, the National Directorate of Security, and that US forces played no role, the paper said.
The Haqqanis, while acknowledging the Taliban leadership's authority, operate independently.
"It is unclear what role, if any, authorities in Qatar, Bahrain or the UAE. played to facilitate the arrests. Officials from the three Gulf states didn't respond to requests for comment," the paper said.
Members of the Afghan Taliban, including the Haqqanis, have long moved relatively freely in Qatar, which in the past has mediated between the US and the militant group. The arrest of the two Haqqani leaders last week, however, may indicate that is changing, the Journal said.
US and Afghan officials have said Pakistan's spy agency ISI covertly backed the Haqqanis to extend its influence in Afghanistan, a charge Islamabad repeatedly deny.
Anas Haqqani, the youngest son of Jalaluddin, rose through the ranks of the group after two of his brothers were killed, and was the second-in-command after his brother Sirajuddin at the time of his arrest, Afghan officials said.
The officials said Anas was in charge of fundraising for the network, which is partly financed by private donations from the Gulf.
Taliban said that before their arrest the two men had visited Qatar to meet Rashid's brother, Mohammad Nabi Umari.
Last year, the Taliban opened a political office in Qatar to host peace talks with the US and Afghan governments.
The Haqqani network is blamed for a bloody bombing of the Indian embassy in 2008 that left 58 people dead, a 2011 attack on the US embassy, and several big truck bombing attempts.
saying "kuchi kuchi", and "aww you got hurt" are facts? if that is how you argue, then no thank you
