Islamists, radicals and mercenaries !!
The named new Interior Minister in Afghanistan, Sirajuddin Haqqani, is wanted for questioning in connection with the January 2008 attack on a hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan, that killed six people, including an American citizen, says FBI note.
He is believed to have coordinated and participated in cross-border attacks against United States and coalition forces in Afghanistan. Haqqani also allegedly was involved in the planning of the assassination attempt on Afghan President Hamid Karzai in 2008.
Prime Minister - Mohammad Hasan Akhund

Foreign Minister - Amir Khan Muttaqi
Deputy Foreign Minister - Mohammad Abbas Stanikzai
Defence Minister - Mullah Yaqoob
Army Chief - Fasihuddin Badakhshani
Finance Minister - Mullah Hidayatullah
Information Minister - Zabihullah Mujahid
Amir Khan Muttaqi, a Taliban negotiator in Doha and member of the first regime's cabinet, was named foreign minister.
Deputy Prime Minister will be Abdul Ghani Baradar, who perhaps missed the 'leadership' due to Pakistani interference.
Mohammed Omar, the first leader of the Taliban, had nicknamed him 'Baradar', which means 'brother'.
He held senior positions in the Taliban during their rule from 1996 to 2001.
After the Taliban government fell to the US-led invasion in 2001, he rose to lead the organization's
Quetta Shura in Pakistan. He was imprisoned by Pakistan in 2010 allegedly because he had been
discussing a peace deal with the Afghan government secretly, without the involvement of Pakistan.
He was released in 2018 at the request of the United States.

Pretender of being true Islamic, Haqqanis are a 'gang' with greed, dishonesty
New Delhi: US President Joe Biden and his administration have been subjected to ridicule.
Haqqani network’s leader Sirajuddin Haqqani is now the new Interior Minister, responsible for internal security of war-ravaged Afghanistan.
He is 'wanted' by US agencies for questioning in connection with the January 2008 attack on a hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan, that killed six people, including an American citizen, says an FBI note.
"He is believed to have coordinated and participated in cross-border attacks against United States and coalition forces in Afghanistan. Haqqani also allegedly was involved in the planning of the assassination attempt on Afghan President Hamid Karzai in 2008," the FBI says.
The Haqqani network, known as a Taliban faction but also its competitor in some ways, had kidnapped 'Times' journalist David Rohde and held him and two others into captivity for seven months in remote tribal areas of Pakistan.
"During my time in captivity, I grew to see the Haqqanis as a criminal gang masquerading as a pious religious movement. They described themselves as the true followers of Islam but displayed an astounding capacity for dishonesty and greed," runs a piece written by Rohde in 'New Yorker'.
On November 10, 2008, Rohde, his interpreter, Tahir Ludin, and their driver, Asadullah "Asad" Mangal, were abducted outside Kabul while Rohde was researching a book about the history of theUnited States' involvement in Afghanistan.
In his piece Rohde also wrote that the Taliban also has the reputation of being 'Paranoid and delusional'.
".....they insisted that the 9/11 attacks were hatched by American and Israeli intelligence agencies to create a pretext for the U.S. to enslave Muslims. They said that the U.S. was forcibly converting vast numbers of Muslims to Christianity. American and NATO soldiers, they believed, were making Afghan women work as prostitutes on military bases," wrote Rohde for 'New Yorker' on August 30, 2021 when Taliban had already taken control of most part of Afghanistan.
Rohde also writes: "Perhaps the most bitter part of the current debacle is the role of Pakistan. I saw firsthand that Pakistan’s Army, while receiving billions in U.S. aid, allowed the Taliban to maintain havens beyond the reach of American troops. For twenty years, U.S. policymakers refused to confront the fact that Pakistan’s support of the Taliban doomed the American effort in Afghanistan".
Of course even in India, the likes of Maj Gen (Retd) G K Bakshi says nothing has changed in Taliban leadership.
During a TV debate, he went on to say that in fact Taliban 2.0 could be 'worse than' even 1.0.
It is generally believed that the new Taliban regime in Kabul would follow the model of Pakistan and Iran.
Pakistan has "so many terrorists" inside its borders. "So that’s how the Taliban will handle it. Anyone who says the Taliban have changed isn’t dealing with the substance of the situation," writes Rohde.
