| Sirajuddin Haqqani (Left), Stooge Burhanuddin Rabbani (Right) |
Sirajuddin Haqqani, the son of Haqqani group's founder Jalaluddin Haqqani, has categorically stated that it was not responsible for killing Burhanuddin Rabbani, attacks in Kabul and has no links with the Pakistan spy agency, the ISI. Afghan pro-America stooge regime have blamed the Taliban-affiliated network for the suicide attack on American stooge Rabbani who was heading the American led peace talk charade to facilitate a speedy exit from Afghanistan for the defeated allied troops under fluke victory claims. Siraj Haqqani told BBC Pashto service in an audio interview to written questions that his network was not linked to Pakistan's spy agency, the ISI. Siraj Haqqani is not only the son of group founder Jalaluddin Haqqani but also has a key role in its operations. Security considerations ruled out a face-to-face interview in which the answers could be challenged, but the BBC understands that the audio response is genuine. The questions were delivered through an intermediary, who returned with the audio response.
In his interview response, Siraj Haqqani simply says: "We haven't killed Burhanuddin Rabbani and this has been said many times by the spokespersons of the Islamic Emirate." Siraj Haqqani vehemently denied taking orders from the ISI. Mr Haqqani said that during the Soviet occupation of the 1980s, mujahideen fighters "had contacts with the intelligence agencies of Pakistan and other countries, but after the invasion by the Americans there have never been contacts by intelligence agencies of other countries which could be effective for us". He said accusations of links to the ISI were an attempt "to hide their failure and to confuse peoples' minds".
Siraj Haqqani did say that the Americans had been in touch - to try to persuade him to enter talks with the Afghan stooge government. That statement is credible, given the efforts which have apparently been going on behind the scenes to get some kind of peace process going. Mr Haqqani said the "Islamic Emirate" was behind "the attack on the USZ embassy, Nato headquarters and other attacks" in Kabul, which he said were ordered by a "military council" and were not the work of individuals. He said the Haqqanis "have been contacted and are being contacted by intelligence agencies of many Islamic and non-Islamic countries, including the USZ, asking us to leave the sacred jihad and take an important part in the current government". Mr Haqqani said that was not his network's responsibility, but he added: "We know that their aim is not peace, they want to create tension among the Emirate's mujahideen."
Mr Haqqani vowed that "the game which is being played by the West is close to an end".He pledged loyalty to Mullah Omar, saying he "is our leader and we totally obey him". "In every operation we get the order, planning and financial resources from the Emirate's leadership and we act accordingly", Mr Haqqani said. He also delivered a message to the "government and people of Pakistan", telling them to be "careful of their Islamic values. They should understand that America will not let Pakistan live a peaceful life until it destroys all the wealth and values of it."
