Senior Afghan Taliban Leader Rahimullah Haqqani Killed In Kabul Blast

New Delhi: A prominent Taliban leader, Sheikh Rahimullah Haqqani, was killed in an attack in Kabul on Thursday, according to an intelligence official, news agency Reuters reported.

According to the report, Abdul Rahman, the head of intelligence for the district in the Afghan capital, where the blast took place, confirmed the death.

According to the news agency, four Taliban sources said that the attack had taken place in a religious seminary in the Afghan capital, when a man, who had previously lost his leg, had detonated explosives hidden in a plastic artificial leg.

According to the sources, it is yet to be ascertained who was behind the blast. They added that the matter is being investigated.

This comes just a few days after the US killed the leader of al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in a drone strike in Afghanistan.

According to reports, Zawahiri was killed in a counter-terrorism operation carried out by the CIA in the Afghan capital Kabul on Sunday.

It is to be noted that Zawahiri and Osama Bin Laden had plotted the 9/11 attacks together, and he was one of America's most wanted terrorists.

US President Joe Biden said that al-Zawahiri had "carved a trail of murder and violence against American citizens".

"From hiding, he co-ordinated al-Qaeda's branches and all around the world, including setting priorities for providing operational guidance and calling for and inspired attacks against US targets," BBC quoted the president as saying in a live television address from the White House.

"Now justice has been delivered and this terrorist leader is no more," Biden added.

‘I’m just not afraid’: Lynda Carter on her online activism and Wonder Woman

The afterlife of the movie star with a single, iconic role is a curiosity. Between 1976 and 1979, Lynda Carter appeared in three seasons of Wonder Woman , a hit so huge that for those of us who saw it as children, she remains a somewhat mystical figure. Knight Rider was great, the A-Team was fun, but Wonder Woman – jumping between boulders, sparks flying from her wrist plates – was something else. Here is Carter today, in a pastel-colored blazer on video chat from her home in Maryland, and although I’m a 46-year-old woman with two children and a mortgage, I can’t help it: I’m completely agog. “It was such a short part of my life, but it has made a bigger impact than any other thing I’ve done,” says Carter, who is 70 and looks nothing of the sort. Among the many reasons to love her, is her good grace in the face of a generation’s obsession with those three short years of her life.
