Recently from the NEFA Foundation:

Al Somood: “Jalaluddin Haqqani, a Legend in the History of the Afghanistan Jihad, Part 1” (PDF)

The NEFA Foundation has obtained an article titled, “Jalaluddin Haqqani, a Legend in the History of the Afghanistan Jihad, Part 1”, from Al-Somood, a monthly Islamic magazine published by the Taliban’s media center. As the leader of the Haqqani network – along with his son Sirajuddin – Jalaluddin Haqqani, according to the document, “remains immersed with great effectiveness in the fighting against the Americans and their allies in Afghanistan” and is “regarded as one of the most prominent figures of both the period of Jihad against the communists and the Soviet invasion (1978 – 1992).” The document, the first in a two part series, draws on “real-life stories, based on the accounts of his closest friends, students and brothers in Jihad.”
